Back to Herne Bay Front

Lyrics

Down here on Herne Bay Front, the weather's not too good There's not a lot of crumpet, and the fish and chips are greasy My mates and I are working days and sometimes nights Sixteen-track recording, though our tiny hands are frozen Down here on Herne Bay front, the summer season's gone But the 'Bingo' is still open, and there's always roller-skating But if you feel weak, a drive down to the 'Dolphin' for a wee drink A touch of old 'Peculiar' helps me think Down here at Herne Bay Front, on promenades 'stroll-on' While the kids stop space invaders, fishermen in 'waders' hunt ragworms Down here on Herne Bay Front, there's eels and liquor pies In 'The Sunset' in the morning, four cups of tea they're pouring Here in Herne Bay The bed and breakfast ladies are out all day The slickest thing is oil out in 'The Bay' Back to Herne Bay front Above 'Rancheros' caff, back to Herne Bay front It's not Hotel California, only electric bar-fires warm you Down here on Herne Bay Front, the 'Rangoon' has closed down Curry and chips right out the question, topless girls give indigestion Here in Herne Bay In the 'Divers Arms' you'll find them all on display Even traffics wardens drink there – hip hip hooray! Back to front Herne Bay
