Down by the Seaside

[Verse 1]

Down by the seaside

See the boats go sailin'

Can the people hear

Oh, what the little fish are saying?

[Refrain]

Ah

Ooh

Oh, oh, the people turned away

Oh, the people turned away

[Verse 2]

Down in the city streets

See all the folk go racin', racin'

No time left, oh no

To pass the time of day

[Refrain]

Ah

Ooh

Hey, hey, yeah, the people turned away

The people turned away

[Bridge]

So far away, so far away

See how they run, see how they run

See how they run, see how they run

Do you still do the twist?

Do you find you remember things that well?

I wanna tell you, some go twistin' every day

Though sometimes it's awful hard to tell

Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, oh

[Verse 3]

Out in the country

Hear the people singin'

Singing about their growin'

Knowing where they're goin'

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Refrain]

Ah

Ooh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, the people turned away

Yeah, the people turned away

[Verse 4]

Sing loud for the sunshine

Pray hard for the rain

And show your love for Lady Nature

And she will come back again

Yeah, yes, she will

[Refrain]

Ah

Ooh

Oh, oh, oh, the people turned away

The people turned away

Don't they know that they're goin'?
