Lyrics:

On the seaside sands all day
Though folks may romp and lark
There's heaps of fun
And a lot more done
On the sands when it is dark!

It's nice to watch the breezes blow
And when the moon shines bright
You can sometimes see a lot o' funny things
Through sittin' on the sands all night!

The courting couples, side by side
All hug each other tight
Many chaps have got a lot to answer for
Through sittin' on the sands all night!

Mornin' comes
And when the day's peepin' through
You start wavin' to the waves
And the waves wave back to you!

The tide comes up and all your clothes
Are soon washed out of sight
Then you walk home in a little seaweed shirt
Through sittin' on the sands all night!

One girl had blisters through the sun
Her shoulders looked a sight
Now she's got another blister somewhere else
Through sittin' on the sands all night!

A policeman shines his lamp on you
Then chuckles with delight
For the rest of the week you find the whole darn force
Sittin' on the sands all night!

Mornin' comes
And when the day's peepin' through
You start wavin' to the waves
And the waves wave back to you!

A kilted Scotchman climbed the tower
And reached a dizzy height
With electric torches there were fifty girls
Sittin' on the sands all night!

The beach pyjamas that you wear
You wonder why they're tight
Then you find somebody with their legs in yours
Through sittin' on the sands all night!

The nursemaid lost the twins one day
But found them quite alright
With a hat pin pickin' at the winkles
Through sittin' on the sands all night!

Mornin' comes
And when the day's peepin' through
You start wavin' to the waves
And the waves wave back to you!

You start feelin' rather stiff
Then find that you're stuck tight
With a boat hook stickin' in your Westward Ho
Through sittin', on the sands all night!
