They do it down on Camber Sands, they do it at Waikiki Lazing about the beach all day, at night the crickets creepy Squinting faces at the sky, a Harold Robbins paperback Surfers drop their boards and dry, and everybody wants a hack But behind the chalet, my holiday's complete And I feel like William Tell Maid Marian on her tiptoed feet Pulling mussels from a shell Pulling mussels from a shell Shrinking in the sea so cold, topless ladies look away A he-man in a sudden shower shelters from the rain You wish you had a motorboat to pose around the harbor bar And when the sun goes off to bed, you hook it up behind the car But behind the chalet, my holiday's complete And I feel like William Tell Maid Marian on her tiptoed feet Pulling mussels from a shell Pulling mussels from a shell Two fat ladies window shop, something for the mantelpiece In for bingo, all the nines, a panda for sweet little niece Coach drivers stand about, looking at a local map About the boy, he's gone away, down to next door's caravan But behind the chalet, my holiday's complete And I feel like William Tell Maid Marian on her tiptoed feet Pulling mussels from a shell Pulling mussels from a shell But behind the chalet, my holiday's complete And I feel like William Tell Maid Marian on her tiptoed feet Pulling mussels from a shell Pulling mussels from a shell
