Sand in My Shoes
FLORIDA

The sky is ever bluest
And friendship is the truest
And enemies the fewest
    In Florida

Evergreens are greenest
Beach sand is the cleanest
And bungalows the neatest
    In Florida

If the sand gets in your shoes
Shake it out where'er you choose
And you'll never get the blues
    In Florida

The rhyme scheme and cheerful imagery reflect the optimism and simplicity of travel culture.
