Song Lyrics:

They do it down on camber sands,
They do 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 tiptoed feet
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 harbor 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 tiptoed feet
Pulling mussels from a shell.

Two fat ladies window shop
Something for the mantelpiece
In for bingo all the nines
A panda for sweet little niece
The coach drivers stand about
looking at a local map
About the boy`s he`s gone away
Down to next door caravan.
But behind the chalet
My holiday`s complete
and I feel like William Tell
Maid Marian on her tiptoed feet
Pulling mussels from a shell.

    @MisterBouncyBounce: Wow, that's pretty neat how that footage was presumably used to promote tourism, yet unintentionally gives us a relatively detailed glimpse into Seaside Heights, NJ during that era. Priceless, IMHO. Thanks so much for the info man, and most of all for posting everything in the first place! :-) Happy Holidays to you and yours!

    this footage is from a municipal promo film for seaside. its much longer than this. i got it off youtube a few years back and cut it to fit the song. it might still be floating around here if you dig deep enough.

    I have seen over 5000 u tubes but this is by far the best . The film really compliments the song. You really get the sence and feeling of holidays in 1950's America From the bottom of my heart well done and thanks.

    They do it down on Camber Sands,

    They do it at Waikiki.

    Ive been to the US a few times but never NJ, still the clip is great and just adds to a brilliant song. Love Squeeze, grew up in London and this song always takes me back to some fun times in the pubs.
