Under the Boardwalk Lesson

UNDER THE BOARDWALK
(Resnick/Young)

When the sun beats down
And burns the tar up on the roof,
And your shoes get so hot
You wish your tired feet were fireproof.

Under the boardwalk
Down by the sea
On a blanket with my baby
Is where I'll be.

(Under the boardwalk) Out of the sun.
(Under the boardwalk) We'll be having some fun.
(Under the boardwalk) People walking above.
(Under the boardwalk) We'll be making love.
(Under the boardwalk, boardwalk)

From the park you'll hear
The happy sound of a carousel
You can almost taste the hot dogs
And french fries they sell


Under the boardwalk
Down by the sea, yeah
On a blanket with my baby
Is where I'll be.

(Under the boardwalk) Out of the sun.
(Under the boardwalk) We'll be having some fun.
(Under the boardwalk) People walking above.
(Under the boardwalk) We'll be making love.
(Under the boardwalk, boardwalk)

Oh, under the boardwalk
Down by the sea
On a blanket with my baby
Is where I'll be.

(Under the boardwalk) Out of the sun
(Under the boardwalk) We'll be having some fun
(Under the boardwalk) People walking above
(Under the boardwalk) We'll be falling in love
(Under the boardwalk, boardwalk)
