Romantische soft-erotiek uit 1964. De dag vóór de opname overleed leadzanger Rudy Lewis aan een overdosis heroïne, waarop Johnny Moore de lead overnam. Moore zou daarna lead zingen op een hele serie klassieke songs, waaronder “Saturday Night At The Movies” en “Up In The Streets Of Harlem”.
De song is o.a. gecoverd door de Rolling Stones die de regel “we’ll be making love” voor de veiligheid maar veranderden in “we will fall in love”.
Oh when the sun beats down and burns 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, yeah
On a blanket with my baby is where I’ll be
(Under the boardwalk) out of the sun
(Under the boardwalk) we’ll be havin’ some fun
(Under the boardwalk) people walking above
(Under the boardwalk) we’ll be making love
Under the boardwalk, boardwalk!
From the park you hear the happy sound of a carrousel
Mm-mm, you can almost taste the hot dogs 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 havin’ some fun
(Under the boardwalk) people walking above
(Under the boardwalk) we’ll be making love
Under the boardwalk, boardwalk!
Ooh, under the boardwalk, down by the sea, yeah
On a blanket with my baby is where I’ll be
(Under the boardwalk) out of the sun
(Under the boardwalk) we’ll be havin’ some fun
(Under the boardwalk) people walking above
(Under the boardwalk) we’ll be falling in love
Under the boardwalk, boardwalk!
