Artist picture
Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!
Martin Stirrup Singer/songwriter An old folkie who got back into it... These days I sing and play guitar(s) and other stringed instruments, then score and orchestrate where appropriate. My taste becomes increasingly eclectic ranging from finger-picked folk through country to soft rock mixed in with a few more alternative and eccentric numbers, including the odd novelty foxtrot...

Lyrics
Boobies on the beach D A I’m standing staring at those Boobies on the beach D A I’d like to touch them but I keep them out of reach A E You know the sight of them just leaves me lost for speech D A I keep on staring at those Boobies on the beach It’s entertaining watching boobies on the beach Even when it’s raining watching boobies on the beach Nothing’s the same as watching boobies on the beach No one’s complaining watching boobies on the beach D A Here they go… one two one two left right left right up down up down… The females do the honking, all the males just whistle Hardly a sonnet, hardly and epistle Still it’s such fun just watching all this flesh and gristle It keeps me gawping, keeps my brain a-sizzle They say there’s treasure there on the isle de platja Sir frances drake some Spanish silver there did scatter But with such great diversion well it hardly seems to matter I just go crazy as I watch their pitter patter I get my kicks just watching boobies on the beach It’s a natural fix just watching boobies on the beach It’s not just hicks a-watching boobies on the beach Genius or thick we’re watching boobies on the beach Watching boobies on the beach, boobies on the beach Here they go… one two one two left right left right up down up down
