Metal Detector (Podcast 5B version) Lyrics

Down at the shore there's a place where there's no one vacationing
There's just the sound of the call of the wild overcoming the fear
Of the unknown
And I've got something to help you understand
Something hidden there underneath the land
My metal detector
Is with me all of the time

I'm the inspector over the mine

Look past the volleyball
Look past the squawking gull
Ignore the mountain of discarded falderal

'Cause I've got something to make you understand
Something hidden there underneath the sand
My metal detector
Is with me all of the time

I'm the inspector over the mine
Metal detector, watch it shine
Every seashell has a story to tell if you're listening
And underneath every shell there's a story as well if you've heard
Enough of the sea
Then everything on the top will just suddenly stop seeming interesting
So listen now to the sound of the things that are found underground

Don't need no volleyball
Don't need no squawking gull
Don't need to look at any bathing beauty doll

'Cause I've got something to help you understand
Something waiting there underneath the sand
My metal detector
Is with me all of the time
I'm the inspector over the mine

Look past the volleyball
Look past the squawking gull
Ignore the mountain of discarded falderal

'Cause I've got something to make you understand
Something waiting there beneath the sand
My metal detector
Is with me all of the time

I'm the inspector over the mine
Metal detector, watch it shine

Don't need no volleyball
Don't need no squawking gull
Metal detector, all the time
