Well I went down to the store
To buy a metal detector
Try to find some treasure in the sand
Well the cashier was named Sara, and
I kinda liked her
So I asked her out and we made plans
We went down to the beach
With my metal detector
We didn't hold hands, but we talked
And as Sara told me
'Bout her friends and her family
My metal detector went off
In the sand I found a ring
A diamond ring, no less
Next thing that I knew
Sara shouted "YES!"
See, when I got down on the ground
With my metal detector
To try to fish that ring out of the sand
Well, Sara had turned away and then
She saw me kneeling
With a diamond ring in my hand
Well I meant to clear things up
I meant to reject her
But when I get nervous, I can't speak
So the wedding's next Sunday
And you're all invited
Well at least I saved money on the ring
