LYRIC FOR SALE

By Bernard Morris

(verse one)
The feel of wind on our cheeks
Five days in a row
The sound of laughter on the beach
With the Punch and Judy Show
Cooling down with popsicles
In the blazing summer heat
Running in the gritty sand
With nothing on our feet

(chorus)
Blackpool, Morecambe, Southport, Rhyl
Having fun with Tom and Dil
With my friends in seaside joy
I really was a happy boy

(verse two)
Running barefoot on the beach
Flying my big kite
The moon reflecting in the sea
Deep in the silver night
Sitting in a wooden boat
Life jacket far too big
Kiddie rides outside the shop
A train and a flying pig

(chorus)
Blackpool, Morecambe, Southport, Rhyl
Having fun with Tom and Dil
With my friends in seaside joy
I really was a happy boy

(bridge)
Driving game sound effects
Blasting in the night
Walking by and drawn right in
By bright and flashing light
Betting on the colour green
Winning on the slot machine
Dil presses when he’s ready
And a toy crane grabs a teddy

(chorus)
Blackpool, Morecambe, Southport, Rhyl
Having fun with Tom and Dil
With my friends in seaside joy
I really was a happy boy

(verse three)
Diving seagulls nicking chips
The smell of sun tan lotion
Skimming pebbles on the surface
Of the big and wide blue ocean
Building castles in the sand
Paddling in the sea
Tasting salt in the air
Tom, Dil and me

(chorus)
Blackpool, Morecambe, Southport, Rhyl
Having fun with Tom and Dil
With my friends in seaside joy
I really was a happy boy
Blackpool, Morecambe, Southport, Rhyl
Having fun with Tom and Dil
With my friends in seaside joy
I really was a happy boy
