IN THE BEAUTIFUL SEASIDE AIR
(Walter Donaldson / William Tracey)

Billy Murray - 1916


Fellows I want to advise you 
How to win your girl's heart
Certain tricks you should be wise to
Llearn them before you start
Never make love by the bright fireside
If you're real anxious to take a bride
Don't get together in cold Winter weather
Just wait 'til the Summer comes 'round

Take your girl where the beautiful seaside breezes blow
On a warm summer's night while you sit there and spoon
There's nobody looking but the man in the moon
Although the beach is damp and sandy
You'll find a cozy corner handy
If your heart is true 
She'll know just what to do
In the beautiful seaside air

You'll quickly find the reason 
Why everyone goes there
Cupid is busy each season 
Down in the seaside air
Don't go in search of a foreign clime
Stay right at home at vacation time
Pass up the mountains and cream soda fountain
There's one trip you're bound to enjoy

Take your girl where the beautiful seaside breezes blow
You can have lots of fun if you follow the bunch
Just take an umbrella and a basket of lunch
If there's a couple nearby dozing
Don't let that keep you from proposing
Stick around and be game 
They're all doing the same
In the beautiful seaside air
