Down By The Seaside
Down by the seaside
See the boats go sailin’
Can the people hear, oh
What the little fish are sayin’
Oh, oh, the people turned away
Oh, the people turned away
Down in the city streets
See all the folk go racin’, racin’
No time left, no-no
To pass the time of day
Hey, hey, yeah, the people turned away
The people turned away
So far away, so far away
See how they run, see how they run, see how they run, see how they run
Run-run, run-run, run-run
Do you still do the twist
Do you find you remember things that well
I wanna tell you
Some folk twistin’ every day
Though sometimes it’s awful hard to tell
Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha, oh
Out in the country
Hear the people singin’
Singin’ ‘bout their progress
Knowin’ where they’re goin’
Yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, the people turned away
Yes, the people turned away
Sing loud for the sunshine
Pray hard for the rain
And show your love for Lady Nature
And she will come back again
Yes she will, yes she will
Oh, oh, oh, the people turned away
The people turned away
Don’t they know that they’re goin’
