Lost Broadway 1961: Broadway's Forgotten Musicals Sail Away the Musical - Beatnik Love Affair Lyrics
Why suffer from moral convictions Social restrictions? Let’s thumb our noses at Cold wars and atomic predictions They’re merely a waste of time
Let’s make a romantic decision Follow a vision Now is the moment to see clearly And realise that really We are on the brink of it Come to think of it
You and I could have an Upright, downright Watertight, dynamite love affair
We could either play it Upbeat, downbeat On beat, off-the-beat Fair or square
Heigh! for those flip calypsos Ho! For that rhythmic din Heigh-ho for those dopes and dipsos Rum punch, coconuts, Gordon’s gin
Think if we tried out Some little hide out On some tropical isle? Naked and warm from dawn til moonrise Somerset Maugham-wise Blue Lagoon-wise
When we lie upon the beach at night, dear We can watch that Russian satellite dear Whizzing through the air As we carry on with our On beat, off beat Beatnik love affair
You and I could have an In-board, out-board Bed and board, overboard Love affair
All we need’s a little on-key, off-key King sized, organised Time to spare
There by the Caribbean We’ll cross the rubicon We’ll have by the deep blue sea an All-out, roustabout carry on.
We’ll get a man tan Gargantuan tan On those shimmering sands Far from those crowds of small-time naggers We’ll read aloud The Carpetbaggers
Ev’ry time we hear a seagull whistle We’ll forget our last misguided missile Just destroyed Times Square
As we carry on with our Upright, downright Watertight, dynamite In-board, outboard Bed and board, overboard On beat, off beat Beatnik Love affair
