Margate

Well, I've been working hard to reach me target
To earn a few bob for a day trip down to Margate
I'm gonna blow the lot tomorrow on all me family
We catch the coach at eight, so don't be late, we're off to see the sea
Hurry up will ya grandad, come on we're going

Down to Margate, don't forget your buckets and spades and cossys and all
Down to Margate, we'll have our fill of jellied eels at the cockle stall
Down to Margate, we'll go on the pier and we'll have a beer aside of the sea
Down to Margate, you can keep the Costa Brava
I'm telling ya mate, I'd rather have a day down Margate with all me family

Along the promenade we'll spend some money
Then we'll find a spot on the beach that's simply sunny
The kids will all enjoy themself digging up the sand
Collecting stones and winkle shells to take back home to nan
Behave yourself grandad, or you won't be going

Down to Margate, don't forget your buckets and spades and cossies and all
Down to Margate, we'll have our fill of jellied eels at the cockle stall
Down to Margate, we'll go on the pier and we'll have a beer aside of the sea
Down to Margate, you can keep the Costa Brava
I'm telling ya mate, I'd rather have a day down Margate with all me family

You can keep the Costa Brava and all of that palaver
Going no farther, me I'd rather have me a day down Margate with all me family
