The Drifters

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 fire-proof
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea, yeah
On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be
Under the boardwalk out of the sun
Under the boardwalk we'll be havin' some fun
Under the boardwalk people walking above
Under the boardwalk we'll be making love
Under the board-walk board-walk!
From the park you hear
the happy sound of a carousel
Mm-mm, you can almost taste
the hot dogs and French fries they sell
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea
On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be
Under the boardwalk out of the sun
Under the boardwalk we'll be havin' some fun
Under the boardwalk people walking above
Under the boardwalk we'll be making love
Under the board-walk board-walk!


Oooooh, under the boardwalk,
down by the sea, yeah
On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be
Under the boardwalk out of the sun
Under the boardwalk we'll be havin' some fun
Under the boardwalk people walking above
Under the boardwalk we'll be falling in love
Under the board-walk board-walk

Well Saturday night about 8 o'clock
I know what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna pick my baby up
And take her to the picture show
Everybody in the neighbourhood
Is dressing up to be there too
And we're gonna have a ball
Just like we always do
Saturday night at the movies
Who cares what picture you see
When you're hugging with your baby
in last row in the balcony
Well there's technicolor and cinemascope
Just out of Hollywood
And the popcorn from the candy stand
Is all tasting twice as good
There's always lots of pretty girls
With figures they don't try to hide
But they never can compare
To the girl sittin' by my side
Saturday night at the movies
Who cares what picture you see
When you're hugging with your baby
in last row in the balcony


Saturday night at the movies
Who cares what picture you see
When you're hugging with your baby
in last row in the balcony
Saturday night at the movies
Who cares what picture you see
When you're hugging with your baby
in last row in the balcony

Adorable, dorable, dorable, dorable baby
You're adorable, sweet as can be
You're adorable, a dream girl to me
You're all that I hoped my love would ever be.
Adorable, dorable, dorable, dorable baby
You're so loveable, when you're in my arms,
You're so kissable, when I hold your charms
You're mine, you are so divine,
my adorable one.
You must have come from heaven,
because you thrill me so
My heaven starts at seven sharp
You start my heart to glow, glow, glow.
You're so huggable, so clinging, so nice,
You're excitable, when kissed once or twice
And soon you'll be mine alone,
you adorable one.

Oh, the boardwalk's deserted
There's nobody down by the sho-o-o-o-ore
And the Ferris wheel ride isn't turning around any m-o-ore-ore-ore
The heat wave and the crowds are just old new-ooh-ews
But I've still got some sand in my shoes
(Sand in my shoes)
Brings mem'ries of the salty air
(Sand in my shoes)
Whoa-uh-oh-oh the blanket that we used to share
How we fell in love down by the sea-ee
Come back to me (back to me, back to me) with the sand in my shoes
Whoa, oh
When the water was cold
You would tremble and hold me so ti-I-I-I-ight
And we'd sit on the beach just to wait for the stars to come out at night
The heat wave and the crowds are just old new-ooh-ews
But I've still got some sand in my shoes
(Sand in my shoes)
Oh, brings mem'ries of the salty air
(Sand in my shoes)
Whoa-oh-uh-oh the blanket that we used to share
How we fell in love down by the sea-ee
Come back to me (back to me, back to me) with the sand in my shoes
(Sand in my shoes)
Whoa-uh-oh-oh
(Sand in my shoes)
Whoa, la, la, la, la, uh-whoa
(Sand in my shoes)

Whoa-uh-oh-oh
