Down By The Seaside 1914

Billy Brown is leaving town
leaving this evening.
He just loves to fool around,
down beside the sea.
Swimming with the women
is the sport he loves the best,
Give him that and
you can have the rest,
Billy told his city friends,
he had a notion,
He'd find something swell down there
beside the ocean.

Down by the seaside,
Down by the seaside,
He met a girl,
he met a wonderful girl.
First they got talking,
then they went walking
down on the beach,
Oh what a peach,
Tho' she sighed and said:
"Oh! How dare you Mister,"
Still she cried for more ev'ry time
He kissed her,
Fast as he'd make them,
she'd up and take them,
that's the life for mine.
All the girls,
call you dear,
all your cares,
disappear.
When you're down by the seaside,
down by the seaside,
having a wonderful time.

Down by the seaside,
Down by the seaside,
He met a girl,
he met a wonderful girl.
First they got talking,
then they went walking
down on the beach,
Oh what a peach,
Tho' she sighed and said:
"Oh! How dare you Mister,"
Still she cried for more ev'ry time
He kissed her,
Fast as he'd make them,
she'd up and take them,
that's the life for mine.
You can be,
just as free,
as the salt,
in the sea,
When you're down by the seaside,
down by the seaside,
having a wonderful time.

Billy Brown came back to town
back from the seaside,
At the station Billy found,
all the boys he knew.
Forty thousand horses
and a regiment of men,
Couldn't keep them in the city when,
They saw Billy's smiling face,
nothing could hold them,
They all packed their grips
and beat it
when he told them.

Down by the seaside,
Down by the seaside,
He met a girl,
he met a wonderful girl.
First they got talking,
then they went walking
down on the beach,
Oh what a peach,
Tho' she sighed and said:
"Oh! How dare you Mister,"
Still she cried for more ev'ry time
He kissed her,
Fast as he'd make them,
she'd up and take them,
that's the life for mine.
All the girls,
call you dear,
all your cares,
disappear.
When you're down by the seaside,
down by the seaside,
having a wonderful time.

Down by the seaside,
Down by the seaside,
He met a girl,
he met a wonderful girl.
First they got talking,
then they went walking
down on the beach,
Oh what a peach,
Tho' she sighed and said:
"Oh! How dare you Mister,"
Still she cried for more ev'ry time
He kissed her,
Fast as he'd make them,
she'd up and take them,
that's the life for mine.
You can be,
just as free,
as the salt,
in the sea,
When you're down by the seaside,
down by the seaside,
having a wonderful time.
