Pulling Mussels (from The Shell) Lyrics - Argybargy - Squeeze

They do it down on camber sands 

They do it at Waikiki 

Lazing about the beach all day, 

At night the crickets creepy 

Squinting faces at the sky 

A Harold Robbins paperback 

Surfers drop their boards and dry 

And everybody wants a hat 

But behind the Chalet 

My holiday's complete 

And I feel like William Tell 

Maid Marian on her tiptoe feet 

Pulling mussels from a shell 

Pulling mussels from a shell 

Shrinking in the sea so cold 

Topless ladies look away 

A he-man in a sudden shower 

Shelters from the rain 

You wish you had a motor boat 

To pose around the harbour bar 

And when the sun goes off to bed 

You hook it up behind the car 

But behind the Chalet 

My holiday's complete 

And I feel like William Tell 

Maid Marian on her tiptoe feet 

Pulling mussels from the shell 

Pulling mussels from the shell 

Two fat ladies window shop 

Something for the mantelpiece 

In for bingo all the nines 

A panda for sweet little niece 

Coach drivers stand about 

Looking at a local map 

About the boy he's gone away 

Down to next door's caravan 

But behind the Chalet 

My holiday's complete 

And I feel like William Tell 

Maid Marian on her tiptoe feet 

Pulling mussels from a shell 

Pulling mussels from a shell 

But behind the Chalet 

My holiday's complete 

And I feel like William Tell 

Maid Marian on her tiptoe feet 

Pulling mussels from a shell 

Pulling mussels froma shell
