it's the last day of the season And there ain't a single cloud What a day to leave the city on a spree
Away from all the hustle And bustle and the crowd On a little slice of heaven by the sea
It's the last day of the season to indulge (or get the factory and the throng) Get rested and relaxed at fancy free
(homeward bound and back to work) Away from all the bother And the hassle and the noise
With your lady and your fella And your kids and your umbrella On a little slice of heaven by the sea
The servant stands and brings the food The peace and calm the rest will do So near the sea and spray The city falls away The sun the sea the salty air The lines of people with room to spare
And the pretzels and the custard And the girls the pranks the mustard And the tanning and the lotion And the pier the beer the ocean
And the oysters and the pickles And the nachos and the steamers It's a little slice of heaven by the sea
What a treat to get away From the frantic and the fray All the fluster and the fuss
To this blessed little beach Far beyond the city's reach And it's only for us
All the joys come from the west From the city's wild excess And forgetting all i've lost
On this sheltered little slice Of a seaside paradise It's the last day of the season So relax and have a beer Hurry up the summer's almost over
