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 stare up at the stars

I like driving in my car

All around is anger automatic guns

It's death in large numbers 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 couldn't 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
