Lyrics
- (rooster crows)
- Verse 1:
- The sun is shining, it's a lovely day,
- It won't be long before we're on our way.
- The guard is waiting, flag in hand,
- He blows his whistle, we're off to sea and sand.
- Verse 2:
- The sky is blue, there's not a cloud in sight,
- So much excitement, didn't sleep all night.
- Now Percy's rushing through the countryside,
- With people waving as we (peep peep) whistle by.
- Chorus 1:
- Seaside, we're off to the seaside,
- Ice cream in cones, candy floss on your nose.
- Seaside, we're off to the seaside,
- We're gonna have a lovely day.
- Verse 3:
- Just one more hill to climb and we'll be there,
- Sounds of the seaside start to fill the air.
- Then someone shouts out excitedly,
- Look over there, everybody, I can see the sea!
- Chorus 2:
- Seaside, we're off to the seaside,
- Buckets and spades, all the fairground arcades.
- Seaside, we're off to the seaside,
- We're gonna have a lovely day.
- Bridge:
- And when it's cold in wintertime,
- Still you can be there any time.
- Just close your eyes, count one-two-three,
- Dream your dream and once again be by the sea.
- Verse 4:
- Sir Topham Hatt arrives to greet the train,
- He is so pleased that Percy's right on time.
- So much excitement, so much glee,
- We're all together with Percy by the sea.
- Chorus 3:
- Seaside, we're all at the seaside,
- Building sandcastles, with buckets and spades.
- Seaside, we're all at the seaside,
- Oh, what a lovely, lovely, day.
- Chorus 4:
- Seaside, we're all at the seaside,
- Picnics and paddling, swimming all day.
- Seaside, we're all at the seaside,
- Oh, what a lovely, lovely day.
- Outro:
- Thank you, Percy, for such a lovely day!
- (laughter, applause, and cheering)
- (owl hoots)
