Verse 6 Lying on the beach with my back burned rare, The salt gets in my blisters and the sand gets in my hair, And the sea's an open sewer, But I really couldn't care, I'm breathing through my mouth so I don't have to sniff the air. Verse 7 Oh holiday, Oh what a lovely day today, I'm so glad they sent me away, To have a little holiday.
