An Englishman On Holiday

Laying down in this Spanish bar

That last slammer hit me like a car

I've got the 6a.m. Balearic blues

Can't even focus on my own tattoos

I had a fight with this German guy

I saw him give my little girl the eye

While he was trying hard to be so cool

I hit him with a stool

Oh yeah alright I'll be going all night

Gonna drink till they take me away

I'm an Englishman on holiday

Every year I get to do the same

I meet the boys and get on the plane

We like to sing and shout out 'here we go'

'Cos they're the only words that we all know

We've got the loudest shirts you've ever seen

We're gonna take the beaches like a team

We've got so much duty free to drink

Enough to float a ship

Oh yeah alright I'll be going all night

So light the paper get out of the way

I'm an Englishman on holiday

We never look for trouble at the start

But it always comes our way

We've got our pride and we just can't walk away

This morning I woke up inside a cell

They dragged me screaming out of my hotel

I don't remember what it is I did

But I've got this drummer banging in my head

I've got to get out 'fore I miss the plane

Next summer I'll be back again

I'll be fighting for the Union Jack

If they let me back
