Lyrics
DOWN TO THE SEA
Words and Music by Jackie Morris
I?m gonna sing a little song about my philosophy
Well, it?s really simple, but it works for me. Yeah
Whenever I feel blue, I?ll shed a tear or two...or three
And then I?ll head right down to where I want to be.
CHORUS
I just go down, down, down, down, down
I?m goin? down, down, down, down, down
I just go down, down, down, down, down
Down to the sea.
Mmm...Baby, baby, won?t you come with me?
I got two sand dollars, and the sun is free
Well, I?m wishing on a starfish you?ll fall in love with me
But if you break my heart, well, what?ll be will be.
Whistling Interlude
Well, once upon a time, I used to pine and sigh all day
I had a mean, mean daddy, what more can I say?
But that was long ago, y?know I?ve found a better way
I watch the waves roll in and wash my cares away.
CHORUS
Well, good times, bad times, life?s a melody
Like the changing colors of the endless sea
And I want to sang it with you in perfect harmony
But if you break my heart, well what?ll be, will be.
Whistling finale
