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
