The original recording by Patti Page sold over a million copies. Wikipedia: “Hailed by Cape Cod natives as the ‘unofficial Cape Cod Anthem, if ever there was one,’ the song has been credited with ‘putting the Cape on the map’ and helping to establish Cape Cod as a major tourist destination.”

If you’re fond of sand dunes and salty air Quaint little villages here and there You’re sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod If you like the taste of a lobster stew Served by a window with an ocean view You’re sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod Bridge: Winding roads that seem to beckon you Miles of green beneath the skies of blue Church bells chimin’ on a Sunday morn Remind you of the town where you were born If you spend an evening, you’ll want to stay Watching the moonlight on Cape Cod Bay You’re sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod Ohhh, if you spend an evening, you’ll want to stay Watching the moonlight on Cape Cod Bay You’re sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod
