From this town I went
away
I couldn't have stayed
another day
I thought I'd go to the
beach for fun
Lie in the sand soak up
the sun
Now daytime there was
quiet all right
But, ever more right
were the nights
On a blanket with a
girl
But, I had to return
from that fabulous world
People thought we were
strange
But, we're still just
the same
The beach it has not
changed us
From what we were
It's true I wore my
hair kind of weird
My friend he even grew
a beard
But me and my friend
were just out to please
If it hadn't been for
"Miss Cream cheese"
He and I would have
been all right
But, as it is we stayed
up all night
Leading a band, felt
sort of woozy
Fifty kids demanding
"Susie"
People thought we were
strange
But, we're still just
the same
The beach it has not
changed us
From what we were
My girl said, "Why
don't you take off your hat?
Oh, you were hiding
that
Hair that hangs down on
your back
Go right now and get it
cut, jack!"
Our clothes we tried to
wash to begin
We had to burn them in
the end
But now we've fallen
into line
Wearing Sunday suits
singing "Sweet Adeline"
