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 or garden Smith or Jones or Brown
At bus'ness 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 cockle shells are found.
Oh, I do like to be
Beside the seaside,
I do like to be
Beside the sea,
I do like to be
Upon 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 lot 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 bag with jewelry, cash, and plate.
Constable Brown felt quite surprised when William came 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,
I do like to be
Upon 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 lot of girls beside,
I should like to be beside,
Beside the seaside,
Beside the sea.
