lyrics (and music) by Harry B Norris, 1899 (via Bowen via Gifford)
Down at Margate looking very charming you are sure to meet
Those girls, dear girls, those lovely seaside girls,
With sticks they steer and promenade the pier to give the boys a treat,
In pique silks and lace, they tip you quite a playful wink.
It always is the case you seldom stop to think,
You fall in love of course upon the spot,
But not with one girl, always with the lot.Chorus: Those girls, those girls, those lovely seaside girls,
All dimples smiles and curls, your head it simply whirls,
They look all right, complexions pink and white,
They've diamond rings and dainty feet,
Golden hair from Regent Street,
Lace and grace and lots of face, those pretty little seaside girls.There's Maud and Clara, Gwendolen and Sarah where do they come from?
Those girls, dear girls, those lovely seaside girls.
In bloomers smart, they captivate the heart, when cycling down the prom.
At wheels and heels and hose, you must not look 'tis understood,
But ev'ry Johnnie knows, it does your eyesight good,
The boys observe the latest thing in socks,
They learn the time by looking at the clocks.When you go to do a little boating just for fun you take,
Those girls, dear girls, those lovely seaside girls,
They all say 'we so dearly love the sea.' Their way on board to make.
The wind begins to blow. Each girl remarks 'how rough today,
It's lovely don't you know,' and then they sneak away.
And as the yacht keeps rolling with the tide,
You'll notice hanging o'er the vessel's side2nd Chorus: Those girls, those girls, those lovely seaside girls,
All dimples smiles and curls, each head it simply whirls,
They look a sight, complexions green and white,
Their hats fly off, and at your feet,
Falls golden hair from Regent Street,
Rouge and puffs slip down the cuffs of pretty little seaside girls.
