Ooh, Mr. Todd!
I'm so happy!
I could
Eat you up, I really could!
You know what I'd like to do, Mr. Todd?
What I dream
If the business stays as good?
Where I'd really like to go
In a year or so?
Don't you want to know?
Do you really want to know?

By the sea, Mr. Todd, that's the life I covet
By the sea, Mr. Todd
Ooh, I know you'd love it!
You and me, Mr. T, we could be alone
In a house what we'd almost own
Down by the sea! (Anything you say...)
Wouldn't that be smashing?

Think how snug it'll be underneath our flannel
When it's just you and me and the English Channel!
In our cozy retreat
Kept all neat and tidy,
We'll have chums over ev'ry Friday!
By the sea!
Don'tcha love the weather?
By the sea!
We'll grow old together!
By the seaside
Hoo, hoo!
By the beautiful sea!

It'll be so quiet
That who'll come by it
Except a seagull
Hoo, hoo!
We shouldn't try it
Though, 'til it's legal for two-hoo!
But a seaside wedding could be devised
Me rumpled bedding legitimized!
Me eyelids'll flutter
I'll turn into butter
The moment I mutter I do-hoo!

There by the sea
Married nice and proper!
By the sea
Bring along your chopper!
To the seaside
Hoo, hoo!
By the beautiful sea!
