Glenn Tilbrook - Pulling Mussels (From The Shell) lyrics

[Verse] They do it down on Camber Sands They do it at Waikiki Lazing about the beach all day At night the crickets creepy Squinting faces at the sky A Harold Robbins paperback Surfers drop their boards and dry And everybody wants a hat [Chorus] 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] Shrinking in the sea so cold Topless ladies look away A he-man in a sudden shower Shelters from the rain 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] 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] Two fat ladies window shop Something for the mantelpiece In for bingo all the nines A panda for sweet little niece The coach drivers stand about Looking at a local map About the boy he's gone away Down to next door's caravan [Chorus] 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 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
