Beside the seaside

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside

Where the oilslicks are lapping at the shore

Oh I do like to walk along the promenade

While my feet dodge the hypodermics and the tar

Oh I do like the sickly smell of ozone

And the sewerage that washes over me

There is nothing to compare

With breathing in polluted air

Beside the seaside

Beside the sea

0030 hours
