Metal Detector

Down at the shore there's a place where there's no one vacationing

There's just the sound of the call of the wild overcoming the fear of the unknown

And I've got something to help you understand

Something waiting there beneath the sand

My metal detector

Is with me all of the time

I'm the inspector over the mine

Look past the volleyball (look past the ball)

Look past the squawking gull (look past the gull)

Ignore the mountain of discarded falderal

'Cause I've got something to make you understand

Something hidden there underneath the land

My metal detector

Is with me all of the time

I'm the inspector over the mine

Metal detector, watch it shine

Every seashell has a story to tell if you're listening

But underneath every shell there's a story as well if you've heard enough of the sea

Then everything on the top will just suddenly stop seeming interesting

So listen now to the sound of the things that are found underground

Don't need no volleyball (don't need no volleyball)

Don't need no squawking gull (don't need no squawking gull)

Don't need to look at any bathing beauty doll (don't need to look at any doll)

For I've got something to help you understand

Something waiting there beneath the sand

My metal detector

Is with me all of the time

I'm the inspector over the mine

Look past the volleyball (look past the ball)

Look past the squawking gull (look past the gull)

Ignore the mountain of discarded falderal

'Cause I've got something to make you understand

Something hidden there underneath the land

My metal detector

Is with me all of the time

I'm the inspector over the mine

Metal detector, watch it shine

Don't need no volleyball (don't need no volleyball)

Don't need no squawking gull (don't need no squawking gull)

Metal detector, all the time (metal detector all the time)
