HOLIDAY on ICE

A holiday on ice, a holiday on ice,
let's fly away today to paradise...

Donkeys were banned beside the sea-side
'coz of the mess they made at low-tide;
just close your eyes and it will disappear,
crack a another pack of iced beer.

A holiday on ice,
let's fly away today to paradise.
A holiday on ice,
we booked a bargain holiday for 99p plus the excess baggage fee...

Feel so good, don't want to go back,
making doilies of the ice-cap,
click-clack, kick off you shoes, it's fun, fun, fun,
sticky lollies in the noon sun.

A holiday on ice,
let's fly away today to paradise.
A holiday on ice,
let's all wave our flags and cheer the gaping gap appearing in the stratosphere...

I'll think about that in the morning,
or just before the final warning;
sit back, book in your lap, don't face the facts:
we are on holiday and that's that !

A holiday on ice,
let's fly away today to paradise.
A holiday on ice,
let's raise a glass and toast ourselves into cannibals of the English coast...

Water's rising up the poop-deck,
but we're only up to our neck:
don't run, don't panic, what the heck, relax!
full steam ahead on the Titanic!

A holiday on ice,
let's fly away today to paradise.
A holiday on ice:
we've 5 more years of summer days,
5 more years of fun before we fizzle out like gravy on the fire-place...

I'll think about that in the m...
