By the Sea

By the sea, Mr. Todd
That’s the life I covet
By the sea, Mr. Todd
Ooh, I know you’d love it!
You and me, Mr. T, we could be alone
In a house what we’d almost own
Down by the sea!
Anything you say
Wouldn’t that be smashing?
With the sea at our gate
We’ll have kippered herring
What have swum to us straight
From the Straits of Bering
Every night from the kip
When we’re through our kippers
You’ll be there slip-
Pin' off your slippers
By the sea
With the fishies splashing
By the sea
Wouldn’t that be smashing?
By the sea
Anything you say
Anything you say
Think how snug it’ll be
Underneath our flannel
When it’s just you and me
And the English Channel!
In our cozy retreat kept all neat and tidy
We’ll have chums over ev’ry Friday!
By the sea!
Don’tcha love the weather?
By the sea!
We’ll grow old together!
By the seaside
Hoo hoo!
By the beautiful sea!
By the sea
Married nice and proper
By the sea
Bring along your chopper
To the seaside
Hoo hoo!
By the beautiful sea!
