Braces gleaming on the beach
Northern accents, funny speech
People call each other "each"
And the telly's just out of reach
And johnny's swimming expertly in a white-capped breaker
Oh holidaymaker, liberty taker
Nature forsaker, oh holidaymaker
Red face roasting in the sun
Curvy girls for everyone
Radio gang here they come
Spoiling everybody's fun
And johnny's swimming expertly in a white-capped breaker
Oh holidaymaker, liberty taker
Nature forsaker, oh holidaymaker
The white surf is breaking softly on the sand
Where the seagulls cry for the bread that's in your hand
But you don't understand for why they cry
You're all holiday men with no sunshine in your eye - why?
Smiling queens walk to and fro
A middle-aged romeo
Tries but without seeds to sow
Lucky his wife does not know
And johnny's drowning desperately in a white-capped breaker
Oh, holidaymaker, liberty taker
Nature forsaker, oh holidaymaker
