Under the Boardwalk
Romance Under the Sun: Exploring the Hidden Depths of 'Under the Boardwalk'
Lyrics
Oh, when the sun beats down and burns the tar up on the roof
Describing a hot day when the sun is scorching and causing the tar on the roof to heat up.
And your shoes get so hot you wish your tired feet were fire-proof
Expressing the discomfort of walking on hot pavement, wishing for fire-proof feet.
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea, yeah
Setting the scene under the boardwalk, near the sea.
On a blanket with my baby, is where I'll be
Imagining being on a blanket with a romantic partner under the boardwalk.
(Under the boardwalk) out of the sun
Seeking shade under the boardwalk to escape the sun.
(Under the boardwalk) we'll be havin' some fun
Anticipating enjoyment and fun under the boardwalk.
(Under the boardwalk) people walking above
Observing people walking above on the boardwalk.
(Under the boardwalk) we'll be falling in love
Expecting to fall in love under the boardwalk.
Under the board-walk (board-walk)
Repeating the idea of being under the boardwalk.
From the park you hear the happy sound of a carousel
Noticing the joyful sound of a carousel from the nearby park.
You can almost taste the hot dogs and French fries they sell
Imagining the sensory experience of being near food vendors, specifically hot dogs and French fries.
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea, yeah
Reiterating the location under the boardwalk, near the sea.
On a blanket with my baby, is where I'll be
Reaffirming the romantic setting on a blanket with a partner.
(Under the boardwalk) out of the sun
Choosing to stay out of the sun, emphasizing the coolness under the boardwalk.
(Under the boardwalk) we'll be havin' some fun
Expecting to have fun in the shaded area under the boardwalk.
(Under the boardwalk) people walking above
Observing people walking on the boardwalk above.
(Under the boardwalk) we'll be falling in love
Reiterating the anticipation of falling in love under the boardwalk.
Under the board-walk (board-walk)
Repeating the idea of being under the boardwalk.
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea, yeah
Restating the location under the boardwalk, emphasizing the proximity to the sea.
On a blanket with my baby, is where I'll be
Reaffirming the romantic setting on a blanket with a partner.
(Under the boardwalk) out of the sun
Choosing shade to escape the sun's heat under the boardwalk.
(Under the boardwalk) we'll be havin' some fun
Expressing the expectation of having fun in the shaded area.
(Under the boardwalk) people walking above
Observing people walking on the boardwalk above.
(Under the boardwalk) we'll be falling in love
Reiterating the anticipation of falling in love under the boardwalk.
Under the board-walk (board-walk)
Repeating the idea of being under the boardwalk.
