Shore Songs

There is something about the music of summer, the music of the shore. Each of these songs has that summer/beach feel. Got a favorite? Drop us an email and we'll add it to the list....


Under The Boardwalk
The Drifters

Oh, when the sun beats down and burns the tar up on the roof
And your shoes get so hot you wish your tired feet were fire-proof
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea, yeah
On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be

(Under the boardwalk) out of the sun
(Under the boardwalk) we'll be havin' some fun
(Under the boardwalk) people walking above
(Under the boardwalk) we'll be making love
Under the board-walk (board-walk!)

From the park you hear the happy sound of a carousel
Mm-mm, 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 havin' some fun
(Under the boardwalk) people walking above
(Under the boardwalk) we'll be making love
Under the board-walk (board-walk!)

Oooooh, under the boardwalk, down by the sea, yeah
On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be

(Under the boardwalk) out of the sun
(Under the boardwalk) we'll be havin' some fun
(Under the boardwalk) people walking above
(Under the boardwalk) we'll be falling in love
Under the board-walk (board-walk!)

Surfin' USA
The Beach Boys

If everybody had an ocean
Across the U. S. A.
Then everybody'd be surfin'
Like Californi-a
You'd seem 'em wearing their baggies
Huarachi sandals too
A bushy bushy blonde hairdo
Surfin' U. S. A.

You'd catch 'em surfin' at Del Mar
Ventura County line
Santa Cruz and Trestle
Australia's Narrabeen
All over Manhattan
And down Doheny Way
Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S.A.

We'll all be planning that route
We're gonna take real soon
We're waxing down our surfboards
We can't wait for June
We'll all be gone for the summer
We're on surfari to stay
Tell the teacher we're surfin'
Surfin' U. S. A.

Haggerties and Swamies
Pacific Palisades
San Onofre and Sunset
Redondo Beach L. A.
All over La Jolla
At Wa'imea Bay.
Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S. A.

Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S. A.

Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S. A.

Wildwood Days
Bobby Rydel

Spring’ll soon be gone (Wildwood days), summer’s comin’ on (Wildwood days)
And I’m-a dreamin’ of (Wildwood days) lotsa summer love
(bup-a-dup-a-dup-a-up)
And all I think about (Wildwood days) after school is out (Wildwood days)
Headin’ down the shore (Wildwood days) to have a ball once more

Whoa whoa whoa whoa those Wildwood days, wild, wild Wildwood days
Oh baby, every day’s a holiday and every night is a Saturday night
Oh those Wildwood days, wild, wild Wildwood days
And then those party lights wild, wild Wildwood nights.

Say baby you’ll be mine (Wildwood days) ‘cause it’s kissin’ time (Wildwood days)
Gonna twist again (Wildwood days) like remember when
(dom-a-dom-a-dom-a-dom)
Sleepin ‘on the beach (Wildwood days) seven days a week (Wildwood days)
Rockin’ every night (Wildwood days) till the early bright

Whoa whoa whoa whoa those Wildwood days, wild, wild Wildwood days
My baby, every day’s a holiday and every night is a Saturday night
Oh those Wildwood days, wild, wild Wildwood days
And then those party lights wild, wild Wildwood nights

Whoa whoa whoa whoa those Wildwood days, wild, wild Wildwood days
Oh baby, every day’s a holiday and every night is a Saturday night

Oh those Wildwood days, wild, wild Wildwood days
And then those party lights wild, wild Wildwood nights

On the Way to Cape May

You looked so very pretty, when we met in Ocean City,
like someone, oh, so easy to adore.
I sang this little ditty, on our way to Ocean City,
heading south along New Jersey's shore.

On the way to Cape May,
I fell in love with you.
On the way to Cape May,
I saw my dreams come true.

I was taken by your smile,
as we drifted by Sea Isle.
My heart was really gone
when we reached Avalon.

On the way to Cape May,
Stone Harbor's skies were blue
. We were naming the day when Wildwood came in view.

If you're gonna be my spouse, we'd better head for that Court House
On the way to Cape May,
On the way to Cape May.

Beyond the Sea
Bobby Darren

Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing

Somewhere beyond the sea
She’s there watching for me
And if I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms
I’d go sailing

It’s far beyond the stars
It’s near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon

We’ll meet beyond the shore
We’ll kiss just as before
Happy we’ll be beyond the sea and
Never again I’ll go sailing

Yeah

Yeah

It’s far beyond the stars
It’s near beyond the moon
I know, yes I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon

We’ll meet, I know we’ll meet beyond the shore
And we’ll kiss just as before
And happy we’ll be beyond the sea
And never again I’ll go sailing
And never again I’ll go sailing
And never again I’ll go sailing, yeah
