Angela Lansbury - By the Sea lyrics

[MRS. LOVETT] Ooh, Mr. Todd I'm so happy I could Eat you up I really could You know what I'd like to do, Mr. Todd? What I dream? If the business stays as good Where I'd really like to go? In a year, or so? Don't you want to know? [TODD] Of course [MRS. LOVETT] Do you really want to know? [TODD] Yes, yes, I do, I do [MRS. LOVETT] By the sea, Mr. Todd, that's a life I covet By the sea, Mr. Todd, oh, I know you'd love it You and me, Mr. T, we could be alone In a house what we'd almost own Down by the sea... [TODD] Anything you say... [MRS. LOVETT] Wouldn't that be smashing? With the sea at our gate we'll have kippered herring What was come to us straight from the Straights of Bering Everynight in the kick, when we're through our kippers I'll be there slipping off your slippers By the sea... With the fishies splashing By the sea Wouldn't that be smashing Down by the sea [TODD] Anything you say, anything you say [MRS. LOVETT] I can see us waking The breakers breaking The seagulls squawking Hoo-hoo I'll do me baking, then I'll go walking With you-hoo you-hoo I'll warm me bones on the esplanade Have tea and scones with me gay young blade Then I'll knit a sweater While you write a letter Unless we've got better to do-hoo [TODD] Anything you say [MRS. LOVETT] Think how snug it will be underneath our flannel When it's just you and me and the English channel In our cozy retreat kept all neat and tidy We'll have chums over every Friday By the sea [TODD] Anything you say [MRS. LOVETT] Don't you love the weather? By the sea We'll grow old together By the seaside, hoo-hoo By the beautiful sea Oh, I can see us now In our bathing dresses You in a nice navy And me... stripes perhaps It'll be so quiet That who'll come by it Except a seagull? Oh, oh! We shouldn't try it Until it's legal for two But a seaside wedding could be devised Me rumpled bedding, legitimized Me eyelids'll flutter I'll turn into bu*ter The moment I mutter, "I do!" By the sea, in our nest We could share our kippers With the odd-paying guests from the weekend trippers Have a nice, sunny sweet for the guests to rest in Now and then you could do the guest in By the sea Married nice and proper By the sea Bring along your chopper To the seaside, hoo-hoo By the beautiful sea
