"Old Cape Cod" is a song written by Claire Rothrock, Milton Yakus and Allan Jeffrey that was published in 1957.
The nucleus of the song was a poem written by Boston-area housewife Claire Rothrock, for whom Cape Cod was a favorite vacation spot.
She recorded "Old Cape Cod" during a day trip to New York City, enabling her return to Boston in time for that evening's nightclub performance.
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.
