Margate Lyrics

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 you Grandad, c'mon we're 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 c***le 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 you 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 if it's sunny
The kids'll all enjoy themselves 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 c***le 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 you mate I'd rather
Have a day down Margate with all me family
You can keep the Costa Brava and all that palava
Going no farther, me I'd rather
Have me a day down Margate with all me family
