Down by the sea |
|
That's where we wanted to be |
|
With nothing to do |
|
Down by the sea |
|
Don't tell me that isn't what |
|
You wanted to do |
|
We sold the house, the car, the TV, the dog |
|
Hopin' we were on our way |
|
Down by the sea |
|
Don't tell me that isn't what |
|
You wanted to do |
|
We had the children remember |
|
John, Phillip, Susan |
|
Alice, Carol, Teddy, Bobby, Jenny |
|
I think you had one too many |
|
But I hope I'm not out of line |
|
Cause now it's forty years after the laughs at the wedding |
|
And I'm dreading retirement, what would I do? |
|
The children are married |
|
And now the big question |
|
is "Was it all worth it?" |
|
And who buries who? |
|
You bury me or I bury you? |
|
Down by the sea |
|
Don't tell me |
|
that's isn't what you wanted to do |
|
Down by the sea |
|
It's where you wanted to be baby, just me and you |
|
We sold the house, the car, the TV, the dog, the duke |
|
and we were on our way |
|
Down by the sea |
|
Don't tell me that isn't what you wanted |
|
To do |
|
We had the children remember |
|
John, Phillip, Susan |
|
Alice, Carol, Teddy, Bobby, Jenny |
|
I think you had one too many |
|
But I hope I'm not out of line |
|
Cause it's forty years after the laughs at the wedding |
|
And I'm dreading retirement, what would I do? |
|
The children are married |
|
And now the big question |
|

And who buries who? |

|
Down by the sea |
|
That's where we wanted to be with nothing to do |
|
Down by the sea |
|
Don't tell me that's not what you wanted |
|
To do, to do |
|
We sold the house, the pope, the dope, the bear |
|
the rug, the cart . . . |
|
We had the children remember |
|
Ringo, Jimmy, Claus, Sneaky, Jesse |
|
Dany, Bobby, Keith, Shane, Harry, John, Roy... |
