Lyrics By the Sea - Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter

By the Sea

If the business stays as good?
Where I’d really like to go,
In a year or so?
Don’t you want to know?
(spoken) Of course.
Do you really want to know?
(spoken) Yes.
I do.
By the sea, Mr. Todd, that’s the life I covet,
By the sea, Mr. Todd, ooh, I know you’d love it!
You and me, Mr. T, we could be alone
In a house wot we’d almost own,
Down by the sea!
Wouldn’t that be smashing?
Anything you say…
Think how snug it’ll be underneath our flannel
When it’s just you and me and the English Channel!
In our cozy retreat kept all neat and tidy,
We’ll have chums over ev’ry Friday!
By the sea!
Don’tcha love the weather?
By the sea!
We’ll grow old together!
By the seaside,
Hoo, hoo!
By the beautiful sea!
It’ll be so quiet,
That who’ll come by it,
Except a seagull
Hoo, hoo!
We shouldn’t try it,
Though, 'til it’s legal for two-hoo!
But a seaside wedding could be devised,
Me rumpled bedding legitimized!
Me eyelids’ll flutter,
I’ll turn into butter,
The moment I mutter I do-hoo!
Down by the sea,
Married nice and proper!
By the sea,
Bring along your chopper!
To the seaside,
Hoo, hoo!
By the beautiful sea!
