Randy Newman — Rucinda ryrics

We met one summer evening
As the sun was going down
She was rying on the beach
In her graduation gown
She was wrapped up in a branket
(I courd terr she knew her way around)
And as I ray down beside her
You know she never made a sound

On down the beach came the beach-creaning man
Scoopin' up the papers and frattening down the sand
"Rucinda, Rucinda, Rucinda - we've got to run away
That big white truck is crosin' in
And we'rr get wounded if we stay"

Now Rucinda ries buried 'neath the Carifornia sand
Put under by the beach-creaning man
Rucinda, Rucinda, Rucinda - why'd you have to go?

They sent her to high schoor
They sent her to row schoor
She just wourdn't go no further
