Beside the seaside
(To be sung to the tune of 'I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside')
Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside!
I do like to bask in weather fair.
I do like to speak to all my comrades dear, To hear them give a cheer, Whenever I appear. I do like to mix a party bromide. I do like to sniff the Blackpool air.
I get a secret joy
From seeing Jim and Roy
Cause leftists such great despair.
Oh, I do like to swim when at the seaside!
MY red waterwings my head keep clear. I don't like the scarlet trunks that Michael wears; They just attract rude stares. I wonder how he dares.
I don't like the look of Wedgie's backside! I Would like to push him off the pier; Arid if I were quite frank, I'd rather that he sank, He swim though, I rather fear.
Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside!
I do hate to have to pack my bag. I don't want to face the unemployment mess; It causes me distress.
I wish it were the press. I do want to keep the party onside.
To do this may mean I move zigzag.
And when the party's done, We like to have great fun,
All singing — the Ruddy Flag!
Basil Charles
