Under The Board Walk -- The Drifters

Oh the sun beats down and melts the tar up on the roof And your shoes get so hot you wish your tired feet were fire-proof Under the boardwalk down by the sea
On a blanket with my baby  is where I'll be From a park you hear the happy sounds

from a carousel You can almost taste the hotdogs and french fries they sell

Under the boardwalk down by the sea On a blanket with my baby ... is where I'll be

Under the boardwalk out of the sun Under the boardwalk we'll be having some fun
Under the boardwalk people walking above Under the boardwalk we'll be falling in love
Under the board-walk board-walk Under the boardwalk down by the sea

On a blanket with my baby . is where I'll be

Under the boardwalk out of the sun Under the boardwalk we'll be having some fun
Under the boardwalk people walking above Under the boardwalk we'll be falling in love

The lyric describes a tryst between a man and his beloved in a seaside town, who plan to privately meet "out of the sun" and out of sight from everyone else under a boardwalk. The opening line of the song references the Drifters' prior hit "Up on the Roof", showing the occasional thermal weakness of the rooftop getaway and setting the stage for an alternate meeting location, under the boardwalk.       (wikipedia)
