Down by the sea That's where we wanted to be WIth nothing to do
Down by the sea Don't tell me that is what You you wanted to do
We sold the house, the car, the TV, the dog Hoping we were on our way
Down by the sea Don't tell me that is what You you wanted to do
We had the children in number John, Philip, Susan Alice, Carol, Teddy, Bobby, Jenny I think we had one too many But I hope I'm not out of line
Now it's forty years after the laughs at the wedding And I'm dreading retirment, what would I do? The children are married And now the big question is "What is all worth it?" And who buries who? You bury me or I bury you?
So down at the seaside Fron now until we're parted Each day brings us back where we started Closer to seeing each other, much closer And closer to seeing dream come true Don't tell me that it isn't what you wanted to do
