Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, when the sun beats down
And burns the tar up on the roof
And your shoes get so hot
You wish your tired feet were fireproof
[PreChorus]
Under the boardwalk
Down by the sea, yeah
On a blanket with my baby
Is where I'll be
[Chorus]
Under the boardwalk
Out of the sun
Under the boardwalk
We'll be having some fun
Under the boardwalk
People walking above
Under the boardwalk
We'll be making love
Under the boardwalk, boardwalk
[Verse 2]
From the park, you hear
The happy sound of a carousel
Mmm, you can almost taste
The hot dogs and French fries they sell
[PreChorus]
Under the boardwalk
Down by the sea, yeah
On a blanket with my baby
Is where I'll be
[Chorus]
Under the boardwalk
Out of the sun
Under the boardwalk
We'll be having some fun
Under the boardwalk
People walking above
Under the boardwalk
We'll be making love
Under the boardwalk, boardwalk
[PreChorus]
Oh, under the boardwalk
Down by the sea, yeah
On a blanket with my baby
Is where I'll be
[Chorus]
Under the boardwalk
Out of the sun
Under the boardwalk
We'll be having some fun
Under the boardwalk
People walking above
Under the boardwalk
We'll be falling in love
Under the boardwalk, boardwalk
