Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well I've been workin' 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, were off to see the sea
[Verse 2]
Hurry up will ya Grandad, come on we're goin'
[Verse 3]
Down to Margate
Don't forget your buckets and spades and cossys 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 tellin' ya mate, I'd rather have a day
Down Margate with all me family
[Verse 4]
Along the promenade we spend some money
And we find a spot on the beach that's simply sunny
The kids will all enjoy themself diggin' up the sand
Collectin' stones and winkle shells to take back home to nan
[Verse 5]
Behave yourself grandad, or you won't be going
[Verse 6]
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 tellin' ya mate, I'd rather have a day
Down Margate with all me family
[Verse 7]
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
