Chorus:

(Sid:) How would you like to go out to the beach, to the fireworks display?
(Lilly:) Fireworks display?
(Sid:) There's where the night'll be bright,
There'll be bands to play in the bandstand,
(Lilly:) There'll be hands to hold in the handstand.
(Sid:) Will you think it's a good suggestion?
(Lilly:) What a question!
Well, I might!
(Sid:) Then, let's slip away to the beach where the fireworks will flare in the air.
(Lilly:) High in the air.
(Sid & Lilly:) Oh, what a marvelous sight!
(Lilly:) With the moon up above
We could talk about love
If we're down at the beach tonight.
(Sid:) There'll be fun within reach
If you'll come to the beach.
Will you come to the beach tonight?
(Lilly, spoken:) I…I'd love to, Sid.  Thank you very much, only not if you come back from the picnic, you know!
(Sid, spoken:) Aw, Lil, you know I promised "Never Again!"
(Lilly, spoken:) And I believe you, but you mustn't come home late for dinner tonight!
(Sid, sung:) I could never be late,
After all, we've a date!
(Lilly, sung:) Then I'll patiently wait
(Sid & Lilly:) Till we're off and away
To the fireworks display
At the beach tonight.
