Verse 1
On the shoreline bright and wide,
Toucan walking, wings open wide,
Met a crab with pinchers strong,
But the bird just sang his song.
Pre-Chorus
“Don’t pinch my beak, my rainbow smile,
Let’s walk together for a while,
No need to fight, no need to hide,
Friendship sweet like ocean tide.”
Chorus
Toucan and the crab, hand in claw,
Finding joy in island law,
Peaceful hearts, no need to jab,
Now the crab has a friend at last.
Toucan and the crab, dancing free,
By the sand and by the sea,
Colors bright, a melody,
Friendship shining endlessly.
Verse 2
Toucan called his friends around,
Parrots, dolphins, island sound,
“Here’s my brother, meet him true,
The little crab is family too.”
Pre-Chorus
The crab looked up and cracked a grin,
First time love had welcomed him,
No more lonely, no more small,
Now he’s part of it all.
Chorus
Toucan and the crab, hand in claw,
Finding joy in island law,
Peaceful hearts, no need to jab,
Now the crab has a friend at last.
Toucan and the crab, dancing free,
By the sand and by the sea,
Colors bright, a melody,
Friendship shining endlessly.
Bridge
Waves roll in, the sun sinks low,
Friendship stronger as they go,
From the jungle to the shore,
Love and laughter evermore.
Final Chorus (repeat)
Toucan and the crab, hand in claw,
Finding joy in island law…
