Ev'rybody needs a by the sea affair Where you get the urge from something in the air Helter Skelter on a mat "Kiss me Quick" is on my hat and you do it on the ghost train for a dare Chorus Wishing you were here same as ev'ry year 'cos our summer madness is too short Wishing you were here Where the sunshine's near Is it true that wishes can be bought Ev'rybody needs the moonlight on the beach Where the water's cold and no one hears you screech Getting buried in the sand what you holding in your hand let it go or else I'll keep it out of reach The last night you dressed to kill Will you write? You say you will sometimes hopes just fade away Ev'rybody needs to have a sea romance When the world around just doesn't stand a chance Candy floss stuck on your nose and you donkey's name was Rose What's this cheek to cheek in ev'ry single dance
