ON THE BOARDWALK
(Joseph Myrow / Mack Gordon)

as recorded by
Dick Haymes & backing group
with orchestra directed by Gordon Jenkins
1946


On the boardwalk in Atlantic City,
We will walk in a dream.
On the boardwalk in Atlantic City,
Life will be peaches and cream!

There, where the salt water air
Brings out a lady's charms,
There, on a rolling chair
He'll roll right into your arms!

Cinderella, you will find your fella,
Someone that you've waited for.
In romantic enchantic Atlantic City,
Down on the old New Jersey shore!

(There, where the salt water air
Brings out a lady's charms,
There, on a rolling chair
He'll roll right into your arms!)

(In romantic enchantic Atlantic City,
Down on the old New Jersey shore!)

Goodbye little chicks,
We are leaving the sticks,
(We are catching a train
At a quarter to six),
And if anyone should drop around,
(One two three, tell them where we can be found!)

On the boardwalk in Atlantic City,
(We will walk in a dream.)
On the boardwalk in Atlantic City,
(Life will be peaches and cream!)

There, where the salt water air
Brings out a lady's charms,
There, on a rolling chair
He'll roll right into your arms!

(Cinderella, you will find your fella,
Someone that you've waited for.)
In romantic enchantic Atlantic City,
Down on the old New Jersey shore!
(Atlantic City Shore)
