I was so busy wasting my time
I didn't notice that you'd changed your mind
Decided not to roam but to stay at home
And much as I'll miss having you at my side
Provided nothing to watch should arise
We're off in the morning all set for the day
On the beach in Blue Anchor Bay
All of my friends they go every year
They take their girlfriends and their crates of beer
And while the sun is out they just lark about
No stately home to be traipsing around
No one to tell you that you cannot count down
It's the trip of a lifetime an annual foray
On the beach in Blue Anchor Bay
And the weather may not always be the best
Which is fine if you don't mind taking a vest
Now the rain on the parade will bring us down
Not in the least
We'll just wait inside the bus until it stops
Which for some sat at the back could mean a snot
There's gonna be for all to see
Five-a-side football a dip in the sea
No place to lie down with a towel underneath
Nothing quite like what it's like being away
On the beach in Blue Anchor Bay
Then as the day ends checking around
To make sure nothing has been left on the ground
It's on the bus we'll go for the journey home
Some looking slightly a bit worse for wear
Others in fine voice arms in the air
Singing here's to the next time we all get to stay
Here's to the next time we all get to play
On the beach in Blue Anchor Bay
On the beach in Blue Anchor Bay
