Lyrics
- Percy walking on the beach
Met a girl who was a peach
He said, “Why, how de do?”
She said, “The same to you, my name is Lou”
Thought she did not care to talk
Would not even take a walk
Said, “Perhaps you’ll think me rash
When I say I love to splash”
Refrain
“Won’t you come and splash me, splash me
In the ocean blue?
This is not the place to mash me, mash me
But we oughtter get into the water”
Then when Percy said, “Oh, Lou
Is that the thing to do?”
She said, “Come along and splash me
And I’ll splash you”
- In the water full of vim
He splashed her and she splashed him
And when a breaker came
He’d splash some other girl, ’twas all the same
So, each day in ocean blue
Percy tells his love to Lou
Does not have to spend much cash
All that Lulu wants is “Splash”
