En la playa

Beside the seaside

Beside the seaside (En la playa)

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside,
Oh I do like to be beside the sea.
I do like to stroll along the prom, prom, prom,
Where the brass bands play, Tiddly-om-pom-pom.

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside,
When I'm there I'm beside myself with glee.
And there are lots of girls beside,
I would like to be beside,
Beside the seaside, beside the sea
