_Chorus_--“Penny Nap” is the gyme for the _Sea_-side! &c.
_Sixth Verse._
Then it’s lovely to be spewning, all the glamour of the mewn in,
With your love his banjo tewning, ere flirtation can begin!
As along the sands you’re strowling, till the hour of ten is
towling,
And your Ma, severely scowling, asks “Wherever you have bin!”
_Chorus_--Then you answer “I’ve been by the _Sea_-side!” &c.
_Seventh Verse._
Should the sky be dark and frowning, and the restless winds be
mowning,
With the breakers’ thunder drowning all the laughter and the
glee;
And the day should prove a drencher, out of doors you will
not ventcher,
But you’ll read the volumes lent yer by the Local Libraree!
_Chorus_--For there’s sure to be one at the _Sea_-side! &c.
_Eighth Verse._
If the weather gets no calmer, you can patronise the dramer,
Where the leading lady charmer is a chit of forty-four;
And a duty none would skirk is to attend the strolling circus,
For they’d all be in the workhouse, should their antics cease
to dror!
_Chorus_--And they’re part of the joys of the _Sea_-side! &c.
_Encore Verse_ (_to be used only in case of emergency_).
Well, I reelly must be gowing--I’ve just time to make my bow in--
But I thank you for allowing me to patter on so long.
And if, like me, you’re pining for the breezes there’s some brine
in,
Why, I’ll trouble you to jine in with the chorus to my song!
_Chorus_ (_all together_)--Oh, we’re offully fond of the
_Sea_-side! &c.
