I make an annual beeline for the coast
Test my flesh against the thrilling swell
At midnight snuggle down as warm as toast.
Leicester life’s not easy, work comes first
Cars and crowds fill streets from wall to wall
So make an annual beeline for the coast.
Sunshine, shrimps and cockles whet the thirst
Ice cream and lollipops keep tempers cool
At midnight snuggle down as warm as toast.
Sand in my socks, pants, shoes and shorts
But itchy grit in oysters helps grow pearls
So make an annual beeline for the coast.
Rock pools hide a whole new universe
Refreshed entirely by the glacial surf
At midnight snuggle down as warm as toast.
All holidays must end, I’m home at last,
Quickly kiss the friends I missed
Tell them to make an annual beeline for the coast
While I just snuggle down as warm as toast
