Oh! I do like to be
beside the seaside
I do like to be beside
the sea!
I do like to stroll
along the Prom, Prom, Prom!
Where the brass bands
play:
"Tiddely-om-pom-pom!"
So just let me be beside
the seaside
I'll be beside myself
with glee
And there's lots of
girls beside,
I should like to be
beside
Beside the seaside!
Beside the sea!
-- Excerpt from a well-known British music hall
song that was written in 1907 by
John A. Glover-Kind
Every time I’m beside
the sea or at sea, I’m at peace and I am reminded of the power of the Dao.
