Down by the Seaside

Down by the seaside
 See the boats go sailin'
 Can the people hear
 Oh, what the little fish are sayin'?
 Oh, oh, people turned away
 Oh, people turned away
 Down in the city streets
 See all the folk go racin', racin'
 No time left, no-no
 To pass the time of day
 Babe-babe, yeah
 The people turned away
 The people turned away
 So far away, so far away
 See how they run, see how they run
 See how they run, see how they run
 Do you still do the twist?
 Do you find you remember things that well?
 I want to tell you
 Some go twistin' every day
 Though sometimes it's awful hard to tell
 Ah-ah, ah-ah
 Ah-ah, oh
 Out in the country
 Hear the people singing
 Singing 'bout their progress
 Knowing where they're going
 Yeah
 Oh-oh, people turned away
 Yes, people turned away
 Sing loud for the sunshine
 Pray hard for the rain
 And show your love for lady nature
 And she will come back again
 Oh-oh, oh-oh, the people turned away
 The people turned away (don't they know to turn away?)
