Lyrics
There’s a loving couple that I know
Down to the beach every summer they go
He’s big and handsome, she’s so cute
Goodness how he loves her in her bathing suit
You can always find them in the crowd
Fooling around in the sand
And she’d say to him, Come on let’s go in
So he’d take her by the hand
CHORUS
Then they’d swim for a while out in the ocean
Then down they would go way down below
Nobody knew what they went down there to do
But they’d come up laughing in a minute or two
Then they’d swim for a while out in the ocean
And down to the bottom once more
When the water got rough
She’d holler John that’s enough
Then they had to swim back to the shore
2. Every single minute of the day
They’re either swimming or loving away
They ride the donkeys, shoot the chutes
They don’t care what happens to their bathing suits
When the band is playing on the shore
They keep in time with each tune
Soon she wants to be way out in the sea
In the water there they spoon
