Nothing ever goes as planned
I just couldn't face going home
It was just a drag on my own
They finally threw me out
My mother got drunk on stout
My dad couldn't stand on two feet
As he lectured about morality
So now, I guess the families complete
With me hanging 'round on the street
Or here on the beach
The girl I love
Is a perfect dresser
Wears every fashion
Gets it to the tee
Heavens above
I have to match her
She knows just how
She wants her man to be
Leave it to me
My jacket's gonna be cut slim and checked
Maybe a touch of seersucker with an open neck
I ride a G.S. scooter with my hair cut neat
I wear my wartime coat in the wind and sleet
I see her dancing
Across the ballroom
UV light making star shine
Of her smile
I am the face
She has to know it
I'm dressed up better than anyone
In a mile
So how come the other kids look much better?
Without a penny to spend they dress to the letter
How come the girls come on, oh, so cool
Yet when you meet 'em, every one's a fool?
Come sleep on the beach
Keep within my reach
I just want to die with you here
I'm feeling so high with you near
I'm wet and I'm cold
But thank God I ain't old
I should have split home at fifteen
Why didn't I ever say what I mean?
There's a story that the grass is so green
What did I see?
Where have I been?
Nothing is planned by the sea and the sand
Here by the sea and sand Nothing ever goes as planned I just couldn't face going home It was just a drag on my own They finally threw me out My mother got drunk on stout My dad couldn't stand on two feet As he lectured about morality So now, I guess the families complete With me hanging 'round on the street Or here on the beach The girl I love Is a perfect dresser Wears every fashion Gets it to the tee Heavens above I have to match her She knows just how She wants her man to be Leave it to me My jacket's gonna be cut slim and checked Maybe a touch of seersucker with an open neck I ride a G.S. scooter with my hair cut neat I wear my wartime coat in the wind and sleet I see her dancing Across the ballroom UV light making star shine Of her smile I am the face She has to know it I'm dressed up better than anyone In a mile So how come the other kids look much better?
