Beside the Sea
Sandy towels in windbreaker camps
Radios play subdued amps
Children paddle up to the knee
I do like being beside the sea
Children running hand in hand
Love letters written in the sand
I'll be yours eternally
Oh, I do like being beside the sea
Happy Hour four till seven
Parasolled drinkers in seventh heaven
Full English guest house no vacancy
I do like being beside the sea
Jelly fish and razor clams
Sun bronzed mums push crying prams
Is there fish and chips for tea
Oh, I do like being beside the sea
Half buried dads, sea filled moats
Buckets spades inflatable boats
Ball chasing dogs running free
I do like being beside the sea
Broken bucket an abandoned spade
A parasol that can't give shade
A broken cup from thermos of tea
Oh I do like being beside the sea
Long lost shoe from a holiday shop
On its own. Is it flip or flop
Right or left is that the key
I do like being beside the sea
Fishing from the harbour wall
Dry robed swimmers excited call
I would rather them than me
I do like being beside the sea
Candy floss and melting ices
Rubber rings at inflated prices
Doughnuts, scones a cream tea
Oh, I do like being beside the sea
Strolls along the esplanade
Excited cries from the penny arcade
Trip round the island leaves at three
I do like being beside the sea
Strutting seagull's plaintiff call
Fishing boats lean on harbour wall
Crazy golfers on the tee
I do like being beside the sea
Viking Forties Cromarty
Portsmouth Mallin Irish Sea
Seeking seaside shelter's lee
