Down by the Sea

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

Is "Was it all worth it?"

And who buries who?

You bury me or I bury you?

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...
