lyrics

SUNBURN
(words and music by Herb Garden)

So off to British beaches I must go
To play the Fool and drink the wine again
With Filofax and Whitbread smile
I’ll raise the roof with my toupée

With my Union Jack shorts
And my Butlin’s badge
To microwave in a cheaper sky
Impressed I am with cancer spots –
What?

Cos when the ozone layer comes down
You’re gonna get sunburn
Sunburn!!
Cos when the ozone layer comes down
You’re gonna get sunburn
Sunburn!!

And so the Jenkins’ off to Italy
I’ll wear my trunks and hope it’s hot today
And under British skies there I’ll lie
I’ll spray my hair with Boris Hair Complaint

With my deckchair placed
And my trousers rolled up
To money-save in a cheaper sky
Aerosol to save my soul
What?

Cos when the ozone layer comes down
You’re gonna get sunburn
Sunburn!!
Cos when the ozone layer comes down
You’re gonna get sunburn
Sunburn!!

[Guitar solo – Phil]

Cos when the ozone layer comes down
You’re gonna get sunburn
Sunburn!!
Cos when the ozone layer comes down
You’re gonna get sunburn
Sunburn!! Cos when the ozone layer comes down
You’re gonna get sunburn
Sunburn!!
Cos when the ozone layer comes down
You’re gonna get sunburn
Sunburn!!
