Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 a dream, if the business stays this good
[Verse 2]
Where I'd really like to go
In a year or so
Don't you wanna know?
Of course
Do you really wanna know?
Yes, I do
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Down by the sea
Anything you say
Wouldn't that be smashing?
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
By the sea
Don't you love the weather?
By the sea
We'll grow old together
By the seaside, oh
By the beautiful sea
[Verse 7]
It'll be so quiet that who'll come by it
Except a seagull, oh, ah
We shouldn't try it though till it's legal for two, ooh
But a seaside wedding could be devised
Me rumpled bedding legitimized
Me eyelids a flutter will turn into butter
The moment I mutter, I do, ooh
[Verse 8]
Down by the sea
Married nice and proper
By the sea
Bring along your chopper
To the seaside, oh
By the beautiful sea
