*** Verse 1 ***
They do it down on camber sands
They do it at Waikiki
Lazing about the beach all day
At night, the crickets creepy
*** Bridge ***
Squinting faces at the sky
A Harold Robbins paperback
Surfers drop their boards and dry
And everybody wants a hat
*** Chorus 1 ***
But behind the chalet
My holiday's complete
And I feel like William Tell
Maid Marian on her tiptoed feet
Pulling mussels from a shell
Pulling mussels from a shell
*** Verse 2 ***
Shrinking in the sea so cold
Topless ladies look away
A he-man in a sudden shower
Shelters from the rain
*** Bridge ***
You wish you had a motor boat
To pose around the harbour bar
And when the sun goes off to bed
You hook it up behind the car
**** Chorus 2 ***
But behind the chalet
My holiday's complete
And I feel like William Tell
Maid Marian on her tiptoed feet
Pulling mussels from a shell
Pulling mussels from a shell
*** Guitar Solo ***
*** Instrumental ***
*** Piano Solo ***
*** Verse 3 ***
Two fat ladies window shop
Something for the mantelpiece
In for bingo all the nines
A panda for sweet little niece
*** Bridge ***
The coach drivers stand about
Looking at a local map
About the boy he's gone away
Down to next door's caravan
*** Chorus 3 ***
But behind the chalet
My holiday's complete
And I feel like William Tell
Maid Marian on her tiptoed feet
Pulling mussels from a shell
Pulling mussels from a shell
*** Chorus 4 / Outro ***
But behind the chalet
My holiday's complete
And I feel like William Tell
Maid Marian on her tiptoed feet
Pulling mussels from a shell
Pulling mussels from a shell
