Lyrics:
Well, I'll be working hard to reach me target
To earn a few bob for a day trip down to Margate
I'm gonna blow the lot tomorrow on all me family
We catch the coach at eight so don't be late, we're off to see the sea

Hurry up will ya, grandad
Come on we're going

Down to Margate
Don't forget your buckets and spades and cossys and all
Down to Margate
We'll have our fill of jellied eels at the cockle stall
Down to Margate
We'll go on the pier, and we'll have a beer aside of the sea
Down to Margate
You can keep the Costa Brava, I'm telling ya, mate, I'd rather
Have a day down Margate with all me family

Along the promenade we spend some money
Then we find a spot on the beach that's simply sunny
The kids will all enjoy theirselves digging up the sand
Collecting stones and winkle shells to take back home to nan

Behave yourself, grandad
Or you won't be going

Down to Margate
Don't forget your buckets and spades and cossys and all
Down to Margate
We'll have our fill of jellied eels at the cockle stall
Down to Margate
We'll go on the pier, and we'll have a beer aside of the sea
Down to Margate
You can keep the Costa Brava, I'm telling ya, mate, I'd rather
Have a day down Margate with all me family

You can keep the Costa Brava, and all that palaver, gonna father me
I'd rather have a day down Margate with all me family
