By the Sea

Ooh, Mr. Todd I'm so happy I could eat you up, I really could You know what I'd like to do, Mr. Todd? What I dream If the business stays as good? Where I'd really like to go In a year or so? Don't you want to know? Of course! Do you really want to know? Yes, yes, I do, I do By the sea, Mr. Todd, that's the life I covet By the sea, Mr. Todd, oh, 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 Wot have swum to us straight From the Straits of Bering Every night in the kip When we're through our kippers I'll be there slippin' off your slippers By the sea With the fishies splashing By the sea Wouldn't that be smashing? Down by the sea Anything you say, anything you say I can see us waking The breakers breaking The seagulls squawking Hoo! Hoo! I'll do me baking Then I go walking With you-hoo Yoo-hoo I'll warm me bones On the esplanade Have tea and scones With me gay young blade Then I'll knit a sweater While you write a letter Unless we've got better To do-hoo 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 every Friday By the sea (anything you say) Don't you love the weather? By the sea We'll grow old together By the seaside, woo-hoo By the beautiful sea Ooh, I can see us now in our bathing dresses Oh! You in a nice rich navy And me in stripes, perhaps? Hm It'll be so quiet That who'll come by it Except a seagull, hoo, hoo We shouldn't try it Though 'til it's legal for two But a seaside wedding could be devised Me rumpled bedding legitimized Me eyelids'll flutter I'll turn into butter The moment I mutter, "I do" By the sea, in our nest We could share our kippers With the odd paying guest From the weekend trippers Have a nice sunny suite For the guest to rest in Now and then, you could do the guest in By the sea Married nice and proper By the sea Bring along your chopper To the seaside, whoa-oh By the beautiful sea
