[Intro – Surf Guitar Riff] (Ooh-ooh!) (Ah-ah!) [Female] Hey, boy— Don't keep me waiting! [Verse 1 – Female] I got my blue dress ready, A ribbon in my hair, You said you'd be down by the water, So I know I'll find you there. I told the girls I'm busy, They laughed and asked me why, I said, “A certain somebody Has finally caught my eye!” [Pre-Chorus – Female + Backing] Every time you smile at me (Ooh, what a smile!) I forget what I should say— So if you're thinking what I'm thinking, Don't you let me get away! [Chorus – Female + Full Band] Down by the water, Right around two, I've got a pocket full of kisses, And every one's for you! Kick off your shoes, boy, Let the whole day roll— Down by the water, That's where I wanna go! [Backing] (By the sea!) (Stay with me!) (Ooh-ooh-ooh!) [Verse 2 – Female] You act so cool and clever Whenever friends are near, But when it's just the two of us, You whisper in my ear. You draw a line across the sand, Then reach and take my hand— And suddenly that cool, cool boy Is shy as he can be! [Pre-Chorus – Female + Backing] Every time you look my way (Ooh, there he goes!) I know what you're trying to say— You don't need a fancy line, boy, Just don't let me get away! [Chorus – Female + Full Band] Down by the water, Right around two, I've got a pocket full of kisses, And every one's for you! Kick off your shoes, boy, Let the whole day roll— Down by the water, That's where I wanna go! [Surf Guitar Break – 8 Bars] (Twangy lead guitar, heavy spring reverb) (Ooh-ooh!) (Ah-ah!) (By the sea! Stay with me!) [Breakdown – Female / Backing Call & Response] Female: Are you coming? Backing: (Yes, he is!) Female: Are you sure? Backing: (Yes, he is!) Female: Then why am I still waiting? Backing: (Turn around!) Female: Oh! [Final Chorus – Big Harmonies] Down by the water, Right around two, I've got a pocket full of kisses, And every one's for you! Kick off your shoes, boy, Let the whole day roll— Down by the water, That's where I wanna go! [Final Tag – Female + Backing] Down by the water! (By the sea!) Down by the water! (Stay with me!) A little sand, A little sea, And my baby next to me! [Outro – Female] Hey, boy... You were worth the wait! (Ooh-ooh! — final surf guitar chord)
