Under the Boardwalk
Bruce Willis Lyrics

When the sun beats down
In the unbearable heat of the sun

And burns the tar up on the roof
Roofs become hot, especially tarred roofs

And your shoes get so hot
The heat makes shoes almost unbearable to wear

You wish your tired feet were fireproof
Wishing the feet had some kind of protection from the heat

Under the boardwalk
A place of refuge from the heat

Down by the sea
Near the water where it's cooler

On a blanket with my baby
Enjoying a relaxing time with a loved one

Is where I'll be
The preferred location during this heatwave

(Under the boardwalk) Out of the sun
Avoiding the harsh rays of the sun

(Under the boardwalk) We'll be having some fun
Enjoyment will be had in this cool location

(Under the boardwalk) People walking above
Others are strolling on the boardwalk above

(Under the boardwalk) We'll be falling in love
Love can grow in even the most unexpected places

(Under the boardwalk, boardwalk)
Repeated to reinforce the location and setting

From the sand you'll hear
Sounds emanating from the nearby beach

The happy sound of a carousel
The joyful music played by a nearby amusement ride

You can almost taste the hot dogs
The smell and sight of food vendors is strong

And French fries they sell
One of the popular items being sold by vendors

Down by the sea, yeah
Stressed for emphasis, that this is a great place to be

(Under the boardwalk) Out of the sun
Still seeking refuge from the heat

(Under the boardwalk) We'll be having some fun
Reinforcing the idea that good times will be had here

(Under the boardwalk) People walking above
The sound of busy crowds above only adds to the charm of this location

(Under the boardwalk) We'll be falling in love
Love can sneak up on people in such a beautiful, romantic setting

(Under the boardwalk, boardwalk)
Repeating for emphasis

Oh, under the boardwalk
The joy and happiness of finding such a wonderful place can be overwhelming

Down by the sea
Still emphasizing how great the location is

On a blanket with my baby
Repeating to establish how lovely the experience is

(Under the boardwalk) Out of the sun
Continuing to celebrate the comfort of being in the shade

(Under the boardwalk) We'll be having some fun
Reinforcing the positive vibe of being in such a great place

(Under the boardwalk) People walking above
People-watching from beneath the boardwalk is an added bonus

(Under the boardwalk) We'll be falling in love
The romantic allure of such a place cannot be ignored

(Under the boardwalk, boardwalk)
A lasting appreciation for this beautiful setting
