Well I've been 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
Hurry up will
ya Grandad,
come on were going
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 telling ya mate I'd
rather have a day down
Margate with
all me family
Along the promenade
we spend some money
Then we find a spot on
the beach that's
simply sunny
The kids will all
enjoy themself
digging up the sand
Collecting stones and
winkle shells to take
back home to nan
Behave yourself
grandad, or you
won't be going
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 telling ya mate I'd
rather have a day down
Margate with
all me family
You can keep the Costa
Brava and all that
palava Going no farther,

day down Margate with
all me family
