Sea and Sand

Here by the sea and sand Nothing ever goes as planned I just couldn't face going home It was just a drag on my own They finally threw me out My mom got drunk on stout My dad couldn't stand on two feet As he lectured about morality Now I guess the family's complete With me hanging 'round on the street Or here on the beach The girl I love Is a perfect dresser Wears every fashion Gets it to the tee Heavens above I've got to match her She knows just how She wants her man to be Leave it to me My jacket's gonna be cut slim and checked Maybe a touch of seersucker with an open neck I ride a G.S. scooter with my hair cut neat I wear my wartime coat in the wind and sleet I see her dance Across the ballroom UV lights making stars shine Of her smile I am the face She has to know me I'm dressed up better than anyone Within a mile Oh, yeah So how come the other tickets look much better? Without a penny to spend they dress to the letter How come the girls come on oh so cool Yet when you meet 'em, every one's a fool? Come sleep on the beach Keep within my reach I just want to die with you near I'm feeling so high with you here I'm wet and I'm cold But thank God I ain't old Why didn't I say what I mean? I should have split home at fifteen There's a story that the grass is so green What did I see? Where have I been? Nothing is planned, by the sea and the sand I'm the face if you want it, baby I'm the face if you want it I'm the face if you want it , baby I'm the face if you want it I'm the face if you want it I'm the face if you want it, baby If you want it, if you want it, if you want it, if you want it If you want it, if you want it, it you want it, if you want it, ah the face
