The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
On Saturday night when my work is through
I always call for Marie
Then we hop on a bicycle built for two
And go scorching down to the sea
After one or two whirls to the German band
We go strolling under the moon
Then we find a good spot on the silvery sand
And gee whiz, how we spoon!
Refrain
You ought to see little me and Marie
By the old seaside
By the ocean we set, and we pet and we pet
Till we get swept out by the tide
You may have been to Paris
And had both of your eyes opened wide
But you ought to see me and Marie
By the old seaside
