[Intro – Jaunty Ukulele, Whistling] Roll up! Roll up! Welcome to the sea! A lovely little holiday, And everything is free! [Verse 1] We've got sunshine every morning, We've got biscuits with your tea! We've got lovely little bedrooms With a splendid view of sea! There's a gentleman from Brighton, There's a lady from Dundee, They arrived in nineteen-thirty, And they're happy as can be! [Chorus – Exuberant Falsetto] Welcome to the seaside! Come along with me! You can check in any Sunday, You can stay till half past three! But the tide comes in on Monday, And the sea belongs to me! Oh, welcome to the seaside! Where you're always by the sea! [Instrumental – Ukulele, Piano, Whistling] [Verse 2] There's a bus that comes on Tuesday, Bringing holidaymakers down! But the driver never seems to Take his passengers from town! We've got dancing every evening, We've got lobster, cake and gin! And a lovely little notice Saying nobody checks out again! [Chorus] Welcome to the seaside! Come along with me! You can check in any Sunday, You can stay till half past three! But the tide comes in on Monday, And the sea belongs to me! Oh, welcome to the seaside! Where you're always by the sea! [Bridge – Music Slows, Playful Falsetto] There's a suitcase on the shoreline, There's a bonnet in the sand. There's a hundred little postcards Nobody has ever scanned. [Spoken – Cheerfully] Leaving already? But you've only just arrived! [Instrumental – Bouncy Music Hall Break] [Final Chorus – Faster, Frantic Harmonies] Welcome to the seaside! What a lovely place to be! All our guests are staying, And the staying's always free! When the tide comes in on Monday, There's no need to disagree! Oh, welcome to the seaside! Where you'll never leave the sea! [Outro – Slowing Ukulele] Roll up! Roll up! Another holiday! [Spoken – Sweetly] The last bus? Oh, dearie me... That only comes one way! [Whistling – Music Box Ending]
