Pearly shells, from the ocean,Shining in the sun, covering up the shore.When I see them, my heart tells me that I love you,More than all those little pearly shells.
For every grain of sand upon the beach,I’ve got a kiss for you.And I've got more left over, for each star,that twinkles in the blue.
Repeat 1st verse

The Ging Gang Gooli Story
In the deepest darkest Africa, there is a legend concerning the Great Grey Ghost Elephant. Every year, after the rains, the great grey ghost elephant arose from the mists and wandered throughout the land at dawn. When he came to a village, he would stop and sniff the air, then he would either go around the village or through it. If he went around the village, the village would have a prosperous year, if he went through it, there would be hunger and drought.
The village of Wat-Cha had been visited three years in a row by the elephant and things were very bad indeed. The village leader, Ging-Ganga was very worried, as was the village medicine man Hay-la-shay. Together, they decided to do something about the problem.
Now, Ging-Ganga and his warriors were huge men with big shields and spears. They decided to stand in the path of the elephant and shake their shields and spears at it to frighten it away. Hay-la-shay and his followers were going to cast magic spells to deter the elephant by shaking their medicine bags as the elephant approached which made the sound shalli-walli , shalli-walli , shalli-walli , shalli-walli .
Very early in the morning of the day the Great Gray Elephant came, the villagers gathered at the edge of the village, on one side were Ging-Ganga and his warriors, (indicate right) and on the other was Hay-la-shay and his followers (indicate left). As they waited the warriors sang softly about their leader…
