Here by the sea and sand
Nothing ever goes as planned
I just couldn't face going home
It was such a drag on my own
They finally threw me out
My mom got drunk on stout
My dad couldn't stand on two feet
As he lectured about morality
Now I guess the family's complete
With me hanging 'round on the streets
Or here on the beach
The girl I love is a perfect dresser
Wears every fashion, gets it to the T
ย
Heavens above, I got 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 and an open neck
I ride a GS scooter with my hair cut neat
I wear my wartime coat in the wind and sleet
See her dance across the ballroom
You'd be like making stars shine on her smile
I am the face, she has to know me
I'm dressed up better than anyone within a mile, oh yeah!
So how come the other tickets look much better?
Without a penny to spend, they dress to the letter
How come the girls from mono's so cool?
It's when you meet them, everyone's a fool
Come sleep on the beach
Keep within my reach
I'm feeling so high with you here
I just wanna die when you're near
I'm wet and I'm cold
But thank God I ain't old
Why didn't I say what I mean?
I should have split home at fifteen
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
ย
I'm the face if you want it, babe
I'm the face if you want it
I'm the face if you want it, babe
I'm the face if you want it
I'm the face if you want it!
