[Xthe17th]

You forgot "Pulling Mussels From The Shell" by Squeeze. I forget when this came out - 1985?

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   

But behind the Chalet   
My holiday's complete   
And I feel like William Tell   
Maid Marian on her tiptoe feet   
Pulling mussels from a shell   
Pulling mussels from a shell

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   

But behind the Chalet
My holiday's complete
And I feel like William Tell
Maid Marian on her tiptoe feet
Pulling mussels from the shell
Pulling mussels from the shell

Two fat ladies window shop   
Something for the mantelpiece   
In for bingo all the nines   
A panda for sweet little niece   
Coach drivers stand about   
Looking at a local map   
About the boy he's gone away   
Down to next door's caravan

But behind the Chalet
My holiday's complete
And I feel like William Tell
Maid Marian on her tiptoe 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 tiptoe feet
Pulling mussels from a shell
Pulling mussels from a shell

Nice poem for this thread, 17th. I've never heard that one before. You should put it on CoteBlanche's thread.
