Well, I’ve be 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

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

at the side of the sea

Down to Margate

You can keep the

Costa Brava

I’m telling you mate

I’d rather have a day down

Margate with all me family

Along the promenade

we’ll spend some money

Then we’ll find a spot on the

beach that’s if it’s sunny

The kid’s will all

enjoy themselves

digging up the sand

Collecting stones and

winkle shells to take

back home to Nan

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

at the side of the sea

Down to Margate

You can keep the

Costa Brava

I’m telling you mate

I’d rather have a day down

Margate with all me family

You can keep

the Costa Brava

and all that palava

Kinda far for me

I’d rather have a day down

Margate with all me family
