On a Sunday by the Sea

Jule Styne & Sammy Cahn • 1947

A sunny, crowd-pleasing number from High Button Shoes, Cahn and Styne’s 1947 Broadway hit. The song captures the innocent pleasures of a day at the beach with infectious good humor — a perfect showcase for Jerome Robbins’ celebrated choreography in the original production.

One of the most purely fun moments in a score full of them.
