You Can Do A Lot of Things at the Seaside

You Can Do A Lot of Things at the Seaside"

Have you ever noticed when you're going by the sea,
The things that people do with impunity?
If they did the same things when they're up in town,
Moral Mrs. Grundy on her face would wear a frown.
Father, Mother -- all the family --
Trundle down to have their paddle by the sea.
Mother takes her stockings off upon the sandy shore,
And shows a lot of linen that she's never shown before.

You can do a lot of things at the seaside
that you can't do in town.

Fancy seeing Mother with her legs all bare,
Paddling in the fountains at Trafalgar Square,
Bobbing up 'n down in the water
Would make a policeman frown.  

You can do a lot of things at the seaside
that you can't do in town.                   [top]
