Under the boardwalk
(Otis Redding)

When the sun beats down and burns the tar upon 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 falling in love
under the boardwalk, boardwalk

From the park you hear the happy sound of the carousel
you can almost taste the hot dogs and French fries they sell
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

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
