[Intro] [Verse 1] The sun is on the water and the gulls are on the pier The ice cream man is ringing that the summertime is here Put on your polka dots and grab your sweetheart's hand We're heading to the seaside for the Saturday band [Chorus] At the bandstand by the seaside The trumpets catch the breeze We'll jitterbug the boardwalk With the sand between our knees The tide is rolling in, my dear The trombones blow and swing At the bandstand by the seaside Everybody sings [Verse 2] Grandpa taps his walking stick and Grandma taps her shoe The sailors and the ladies all are dancing two by two The candy floss is pink and there's a sparkle in the sea And you look awful handsome dancing here with me [Chorus] At the bandstand by the seaside The trumpets catch the breeze We'll jitterbug the boardwalk With the sand between our knees The tide is rolling in, my dear The trombones blow and swing At the bandstand by the seaside Everybody sings [Clarinet Solo] [Bridge] When the sun goes down and the lanterns glow We'll sway real slow by the sea below Saltwater kisses, a melody Saturday, Saturday, you and me [Chorus] At the bandstand by the seaside The trumpets catch the breeze We'll jitterbug the boardwalk With the sand between our knees The tide is rolling in, my dear The trombones blow and swing At the bandstand by the seaside Everybody sings [Outro] Everybody sings [End]
