Lyrics
Chorus
She’s not the only pebble on the beach
That is the sort of lesson you must teach
If you want to win her hand
Let the maiden understand
That she’s not the only pebble on the beach
Chorus
“You’re not the only pebble on the beach
For there are others,” said the little peach
“You don’t own the car, you know
Give a little girl a show
You are not the only pebble on the beach”
Chorus
He’s not the only pebble on the beach
She has a hundred more within her reach
It’s because he has the “dough”
That she says she loves him so
But he’s not the only pebble on the beach
Chorus
There are a lot of others on the beach
And you can take advice from what I preach
When on married life you start
Take a “tip” and live apart
There are lots of other pebbles on the beach
