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 were going
Down to Margate
Don't forget your buckets and spades and cossies and all
Down to Margate
We'll have a pill 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 spend some money
Then we 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 a pill 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 that palava
Going no farther, me I'd rather have a day down Margate with all me family.
