| My, my, my it’s a beautiful world
|
| I like swimming in the sea
|
| I like to go out beyond the white breakers
|
| Where a man can still be free (or a woman if you are one)
|
| I like swimming in the sea
|
| My, my, my it’s a beautiful world
|
| I like drinking Irish tea
|
| With a little bit of Lapsang Souchong
|
| I like making my own tea
|
| My, my, my it’s a beautiful world
|
| I like driving in my car
|
| Roll the top down, sometimes I travel quite far
|
| Drive to the ocean and stare up at the stars
|
| I like driving in my car
|
| All around is anger
|
| Automatic guns
|
| Death in large numbers
|
| And no respect for women or our little ones
|
| I tried talking to Jesus
|
| But he just put me on hold
|
| Said he’d been swamped by calls this week
|
| And he could not shake his cold
|
| And still this emptiness persists
|
| Perhaps this is as good as it gets
|
| When you’ve given up the drink
|
| And those nasty cigarettes
|
| Now I leave the party early, at least with no regrets
|
| I watch the sun as it comes up, I watch it as it sets
|
| Yeah, this is as good as it gets
|
| My, my, my it’s a beautiful world
|
| I like sleeping with Marie
|
| She is one sexy girl full of mystery
|
| She says she doesn’t love me
|
| But she likes my company
|
| For now that’s good enough for me
|
| My, my, my it’s a beautiful world
|
| I like swimming in the sea
|
| I like to go out beyond the white breakers
|
| Where a man can still be free (or a woman if you are one)
|
| I like swimming in the sea
|
| Yeah |
