Lyrics
Grandad mum and auntie Nell
Would always find the time to tell
The stories of our good old Blackpool days
Wed board the steamtrain clean and bright
All pack in and hold on tight
And head off down to start those crazy ways
The sun was always shining through
It semed the sea forever blue
And golden sands as far the eye could see
Wed take a stroll along the prom
With jellied eels a bit later on
Yes Blackpool really was the place to be
Build sand castles to the sky
And boy could our kites really fly
Then fish and chips and sometimes hotdogs too
With lots of onions bangers and mash
Eat what you like we had the cash
No matter what you ate you saw it through
Cause the sun was always shining through
It seemed the sea forever blue
And golden sands as far the eye could see
Wed take a stroll along the prom
With jellied eels a bit later on
Yes Blackpool really was the place to be
instrumental---
The sun was always shining through
It seemed the sea forever blue
And golden sands as far the eye could
Wed take a stroll along the prom
With jellied eels a bit later on
Yes Blackpool really was the place to be
Take a visit to the pier
Theyd all be laughing full of beer
And uncle Bert would end up on the swings
Auntie Kate would turn up late
Shed say shes been to some old fete
Then nag uncle Bert cause when hes drunk he sings
But the sun was always shining through
It seemed the sea forever blue
And golden sands as far the eye could see
Wed take a stroll along the prom
With jellied eels a bit later on
Yes Blackpool really was the place to be
