“Under the Boardwalk”. The Drifters (1964)

“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”

Fun little leaf growing up through the slats on the boardwalk. The song was popular in '64. I remember thinking it was written about the boardwalk at the Jersey shore, the only boardwalk that I was familiar with. There's no evidence of that; just my juvenile mind.

Sweet.
