The Seaside Sultan 1903

There's a King who reigns
by the gay seashore
and a mighty King is he!
In the season, by the sea
You're sure to find him strolling,
He's a flanelled fool,
From an office stool,
Who should be at school,
Instead of showing off his graces
with his Panama
and with his cheap cigar,
down by the sea he spends his days,
That's all he's got to spend.
He's always on the frivol
with a frock or frill!
He's guaranteed to make
the ladies hearts stand still!

He is the Seaside Sultan!
He's the monarch of the pier!
At the promenade he's Shah!
At the beach he is the Czar!
All the ladies in his company will lurk!
It's an awful blow
when he's got to go
Back to work.

He is the Seaside Sultan!
He's the monarch of the pier!
At the promenade he's Shah!
At the beach he is the Czar!
All the ladies in his company will lurk!
It's an awful blow
when he's got to go
Back to work.

There's a King who reigns
by the gay seashore
and a mighty King is he!
And each Duchess he will see
He's sure to leave his heart to.
He will promenade
with this picture card!
with all the girls he's starred!
His style and smile are so alluring!
For he holds his sway
all through his holiday
The merry little fortnight
that he spends down by the sea.
He's chummy with
the very best of royalty
who're royal only once a year,
the same as he.

He is the Seaside Sultan!
He's the monarch of the pier!
At the promenade he's Shah!
At the beach he is the Czar!
All the ladies in his company will lurk!
It's an awful blow
when he's got to go
Back to work.

He is the Seaside Sultan!
He's the monarch of the pier!
At the promenade he's Shah!
At the beach he is the Czar!
All the ladies in his company will lurk!
It's an awful blow
when he's got to go
Back to work.

There's a King who reigns
by the gay seashore
and a mighty King is he!
He will talk, so pompously,
of his motors and his racers.
He will say: "What, What!
you ought to see my yacht!
I'm sure to win that Pot!"
I don't care that!
for Tommy Lipton.
Then he'll, maybe, find
that there's a
crowd behind that is staring
at an accident that's happened
his cheap pants.
"What are the wild waves saying?"
I have heard folks shout
they never get a chance
to speak while he's about.

He is the Seaside Sultan!
He's the monarch of the pier!
At the promenade he's Shah!
At the beach he is the Czar!
All the ladies in his company will lurk!
It's an awful blow
when he's got to go
Back to work.

He is the Seaside Sultan!
He's the monarch of the pier!
At the promenade he's Shah!
At the beach he is the Czar!
All the ladies in his company will lurk!
It's an awful blow
when he's got to go
Back to work.
