Roll up and sunshine, rub in that suntan lotion and hit the beach
The most spectacular coastline within Lincolnshire's reach! It's Skegness!
Acres and acres of working class, friendly sand
Pound shops and market stalls litter the land
Cheap thrills a plenty, the arcades are empty
It's fun if you're eighty, less so if you're twenty
The death rate is low, it's quite safe outside
This town has been rape free almost every night
The family fun deck is quite near the rides
If you want a sneak preview then check out the web-site
Life's a beach, Skegness rocks!
Put on your flip-flops, take off your socks
Lay down your towel upon the sand
Watch out for dog turds and wandering hands
Yeah! Skeggy now - from a tourists perspective
I've been coming to Skeggy for nigh on ten years
Plenty of smiles, minimal tears
Fantasy Island is rather fancy
But Skegness Stadium is dirty and nasty
The locals are lovely, the weather's quite bad
But when it's time to go I feel rather sad
There's nothing quite like it, I think you'll agree
It's where I want to live, beside the sea
Life's a beach, Skegness rocks!
Put on your flip-flops, take off your socks
Lay down your towel upon the sand
Watch out for dog turds and wandering hands
Woah! Skeggy now - from a locals perspective
I've been living here since the World War II days
When the tourists first came I thought it was just a phase
In my twilight years they are still here
Disturbing the peace year-after-year
They should bugger off to Bognor instead
If I see another chav I'll fill 'em with lead
They've ruined my life, I'll ruin theirs too
If I had any sense I'd up sticks and move
Life's a beach, Skegness rocks!
Put on your flip-flops, take off your socks
Lay down your towel upon the sand
Watch out for dog turds and wondering hands
Life's a beach, Skegness rocks!
Put on your flip-flops, take off your socks
Lay down your towel upon the sand
Watch out for dog turds and wondering hands
Release notes:
All words by Bri Jnr. & Tico Jnr., all music by Bri Jnr.
PR, local & tourist people provided by one of Lincolnshire's most terrific Councils
Tico rattles:
Due to a difference in opinion of favoured biscuits (broken, not broken?), Bri and I rarely collaborate anymore, but this is a rare occasion when we did. He calling the toss correctly allowing him to take the lead during the 10-minute session. I feel that I came up with the better lyrics, although my preference to sing about Ingoldmells was pooh-poohed.
Bri, while panting, tells us:
Lincolnshire has much to offer if you're easily pleased, or even just easy. The various Thorpe's for starters (Clee, Scun, Mable...) bordering The Wash are the envy of Siberians and Antarcticans for their flat, featureless beaches and carnal 'pleasures'. The jewel in Lincolnshire's crown is without a doubt, Skegness and this especially upbeat bopper celebrates everything that this 'ness monster encompasses from a dirty stadium to it's population of chavs. This ditty is basically a blatant free advertisement so their local council must be thrilled.
There are perspectives from tourists and locals and Tico plays the part of Skegness' MP, promising that it is 'quite safe outside' and recommending that you check out the website, the website. So put on your flip flops, take off your socks and brave the road trip via Boston in order to enjoy the most spectacular coastline within Lincolnshire's reach!
