"Cider Holiday" lyrics

"Cider Holiday"

Arr, arr ooh ay
Let's drink cider every day
And we will get what we desire
And we will set the night on fire to show the way
Cider Holiday

Let's go!

Oh we'll leave our tired and weary homes
And we'll sail away across the foam
All along the west wind's merry breeze
To the land of pasties, scrump, and cheese
Into Brizzle station, at quarter-after-four
Straight up into the seven stars
There's history in the rafters, sawdust on the floor
And a sign above the bar

Says "Arr ooh arr, arr ooh ay"
Let's drink cider every day

With fresh wind in our sails
We'll roll out on those ancient trails
Through the Dorset coast in a cider shed
We'll get completely off our heads
Then it's on to Buckfast Abbey, pay Devon our respects
Electrified, we'll jump into the car
To a cottage out in Dartmoor, we'll dance around the fire
And swim out in the stars

Arr ooh arr, arr ooh ay
Let's drink cider every day
And we will get what we desire
And we will set the night on fire to show the way
Cider Holiday

To a shanty sing in Boscastle
The table's set, the Nap is full
Grab a pint and pull up a chair
You won't believe what's waitin' there
For you know it's Smokey Bastard and all the skimmity lads
Seven verses in to Old Maui
And here's Jamer Turnip, a twinkle in his eye
And he turns and says to thee

Arr ooh arr, arr ooh ay
Let's drink cider every day
And we will get what we desire
And we will set the night on fire to show the way
Cider Holiday

Let's go!
Cider Holiday

Rising cider, wild and free
Welcome to the good old West country
Come my mappers set thy scrump
With the fairest of folk
See the standing stones
On the misty moors
See the folks a-fishing
On the Jurassic shores
Fear the pixie's curse
On the moonstruck lane
We'll get mortal drunk
And curse the Buckfast Monks
[?]

Arr ooh arr, arr ooh ay
Let's drink cider every day
And we will get what we desire
And we will set the night on fire to show the way
Cider Holiday

La-la la la la la la-la
