A “seashore” song perfect for the quickstep, 1914.

Lyrics
- Joe and Jane were always together
Said Joe to Jane, “I love summer weather
So, let’s go to that beautiful sea
Follow along, say you’re with me”
Anything that Joe would suggest to her
Jane would always think it was best for her
So he’d get his Ford, Holler, “All aboard
Gee! I want to be:
Chorus
“By the sea, by the sea, by the beautiful sea
You and I, you and I, oh! how happy we’ll be
When each wave comes a rolling in, we will duck or swim
And we’ll float and fool around the water
Over and under and then up for air
Pa is rich, Ma is rich, so now what do we care?
I love to be beside your side, beside the sea
Beside the sea side, by the beautiful sea”
- Joe was quite a sport on a Sunday
Though he would eat at Childs on a Monday
And Jane would lose her millionaire air
And go to work marcelling hair
Every Sunday he’d leave his wife at home
Say, “It’s business, honey, I’ve got to roam”
Then he’d miss his train, get his Ford and Jane
And say “Come with me
