Everyone delights to spend their summer’s holiday
Down beside the side of the silvery sea
I’m no exception to the rule, in fact, if I’d my way
I’d reside by the side of the silvery sea
But when you’re just the common garden Smith or Jones or Brown
At business up in town, you’ve got to settle down
You save up all the money you can till summer comes around
Then away you go to a spot you know where the cocklеshells are found
Oh! I do like to bе beside the seaside!
I do like to be beside the sea!
Oh I do like to stroll along the Prom, Prom, Prom!
Where the brass bands play, “Tiddely-om-pom-pom!”
So just let me be beside the seaside!
I’ll be beside myself with glee
And there’s lots of girls beside
I should like to be beside, beside the seaside
Beside the sea!
Timothy went to Blackpool for the day last Eastertide
To see what he could see by the side of the sea
As soon as he reached the station there the first thing he espied
Was the wine lodge door stood open invitingly
To quench his thirst, he toddled inside and called out for a wine
Which grew to eight or nine, till his nose began to shine
Said he ‘What people see in the sea, I’m sure I fail to see’
Then he caught the train back home again and to his wife said he
Oh! I do like to be beside the seaside!
I do like to be beside the sea!
Oh I do like to stroll along the Prom, Prom, Prom!
Where the brass bands play, “Tiddely-om-pom-pom!”
So just let me be beside the seaside!
I’ll be beside myself with glee
And there’s lots of girls beside
I should like to be beside, beside the seaside
Beside the sea!
William Sykes the burglar he’d been out to work one night
Filled his bags with jewels, cash and plate
Constable Brown felt quite surprised when William hove in sight
Said he, “The hours you’re keeping are far too late.”
So he grabbed him by the collar and lodged him safe and sound in jail
Next morning looking pale, Bill told a tearful tale
The judge said, “For a couple of months I’m sending you away!”
Said Bill, “How kind! Well if you don’t mind, Where I spend my holiday!”
Oh! I do like to be beside the seaside!
I do like to be beside the sea!
For the sun’s always shining as I make my way
And the brass bands play, “Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-ay”
So just let me be beside the seaside!
I’ll be beside myself with glee
And there’s lots of girls beside
I should like to be beside, beside the seaside
Beside the sea!
