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, yeah
On a blanket with my baby
That's 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 were falling in love
Under the boardwalk, boardwalk
On the park you'll hear the happy sound of
a carousel
You can almost taste the hot dogs and french
fries they sell
Under the boardwalk
Down by the sea, yeah
On a blanket with my baby
That's 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 were falling in love
Under the boardwalk, boardwalk
Oh under the boardwalk
Down by the sea, yeah
On a blanket with my baby
That's 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 were falling in love
Under the boardwalk, boardwalk
