The song was written by Mark Sheridan, a Music Hall "turn", who also sang it originally. You can get it on compilations. Let's see if I can remember the words from the record: Lots of folks delight to spend a summer holiday |

15 Jun 99 - 03:48 AM (#86780) Subject: RE: Oh we do like to be beside the seaside! From: Steve Parkes I've been in Yates's Wine Lodge in Blackpool, abtout welve or thirteen years ago; it was like a disco inside - loud music, flashing lights, and full of kids. I didn't stay! I remember YWL in Walsall (home town) and Birmingham around 1970: very spartan, very Edwardian-looking (as distinct from the 80's "Vicwardian"), The Birmingham one had a long straight bar-room, which I seem to remember was about the length of a swimming pool. It had crash-barrier-like things to lean on (lots of customers, not many seats!), like the ones they used to have on soccer terraces, only brass. This ain't getting the babby washed, is it? Steve |

No guarantees on this . . . William Sykes the burglar, He'd been out of work one night Filled his bag with jewels, cash, and plate. Constable Brown felt quite surprised when William hove in sight Said he, "The hours you're keeping are far too late." So, he grabbed him by the collar and lodged him safe and sound in jail Next morning looking pale Bill told a tearful tale. The judge said, "For a couple of months I'm sending you away!

15 Mar 10 - 11:22 PM (#2864954) Subject: RE: Oh we do like to be beside the seaside! From: RTim Rolf Harris did a version of this song - well he used the chorus at the end - on a childrens record many many years ago. I sing it occasionally - very occasionally!! Tim Radford. SUNDAY BY THE SEA. (via Rolf Harris) Sunday morning wake up yawning have a cup of tea Get the car out lets take Ma out, we can have a spree Wake the pub up, get some grub up Bring a crate for me, and when we've got the whole lot packed, we'll shove the fishing tackle in the back. And tear off down the road at 14 miles an hour all the traffic piling up gor blimey what a shower. There's swearing. braking, overtaking, what a liberty But I wouldn't miss a Sunday by the sea. There's lovely peaches on the beaches laid out in the sun, with costumes slipping, And birds all dripping and splashing everyone. There's paddling, floating, fishing, boating What a lot of fun, If there's a maiden in distress I'll be the first to see her SOS. So grab yourself a deckchair if you want a little doze, Read the Sunday papers while the sand slips through your toes, Ice cream trollies, kids with lollies, happy as can be, Oh I wouldn't miss a Sunday by the sea. Piles of litter, the winds turn bitter & the seas all getting rough, Burning blisters, LOUD transisters And if that is not enough, Now it's raining, stop complaining pack up all the stuff and when we're half way back to town you start to feel the back tyre going downÉ.. But get the spare out tear your hair out looking for the jack, pushing pumping heaving thumping trying to get it back, And by the time you get back home you find you've missed TV Ð well was it worth it? NO Well was it worth it? Ð YES, Yes it's worth it for a Sunday by the sea. I do like to be beside the seaside! Oh, I do like to be beside the sea! I do like to stroll along the prom, prom, prom, While the brass band plays tiddleyompompom! Oh, just let me be beside the seaside! I'll be beside myself with glee. There are lots of girls, besides, That I'd like to be beside, Beside the seaside, beside the sea. |

16 Mar 10 - 05:15 AM (#2865065) Subject: RE: Oh we do like to be beside the seaside! From: Geoff the Duck Just a very belated comment in response to an earlier one (From: Steve Parkes - Date: 15 Jun 99). He mentions visiting Yates's Wine Lodge in Blackpool (Mid to late 80's) being like a disco and ones in the Midlands (early 70's) being spartan. I would just comment that the difference has more to do with the date than the location. My brother was working in a Blackpool around the end of the 1970's. I recall going to Fylde Folk Festival at Fleetwood, then catching a tram to Blackpool to visit for a day or two. One of the places we visited was the Wine Lodge, and at that time it fitted the same description as the Midlands ones. Long bars with barrels of sherry ready to turn a tap and fill a glass, sawdust covering the floor and populated by the type of drinker who would appreciate a half pint of sherry. Yates's changed when the Yuppie Wine Bar became popular. I presume the company decided that it could make money from younger people, rather than a dwindling population of aging alcoholics who no pub would serve. Quack! GtD. |

Yates in Blackpool used to have a cracking Music Hall upstairs, I even performed there once myself. Been years since I was there though and I have no idea if it is still there. 'I do like to be beside the seaside' was a favourite of a recently departed friend of ours, Chris Johnson, who used to post here under the name 'compton', we sung it last week at our regular monthly session in his memory. Great song. |
