Chorus
“Johnny where did ye go on your holidays?”
I went ta the sea, I went ta the sea.
I went ta the sea, for the see ta sea.
Did the sea see you, did the sea see you.
Well it waved at me anyhow.
Oh What a lovely place to be,
Sitting on the sand beside the sea.
There I was with my spade an’ bucket.
The rain came down an’ me daddy said f**.
Chorus
I went ta the sea, I went ta the sea.
I went ta the sea, for the see ta sea.
Did the sea see you, did the sea see you.
Well it waved at me anyhow.
Seein’ all the little childer play.
Making sand castles, on a summers day.
Swimming in the sea, oh so blue.
Splashing about with our beach balls too.
Chorus
I went ta the sea, I went ta the sea.
I went ta the sea, for the see ta sea.
Did the sea see you, did the sea see you.
Well it waved at me anyhow.
“Ah and what else happened Johnny?”
Oh there I was with me brother Mick.
Daddy gave us ice-cream for ta lick.
Then he filled us up with chips an’ coke.
He sat down an’ had a smoke.
Chorus
I went ta the sea, I went ta the sea.
I went ta the sea, for the see ta sea.
Did the sea see you, did the sea see you.
Well it waved at me anyhow.
(OH) What a lovely place ta be.
Sitting on the sand beside the sea.
There I was with my spade an’ bucket.
The rain came down an me daddy said f**.
Chorus
I went ta the sea, I went ta the sea.
I went ta the sea, for the see ta sea.
Did the sea see you, did the sea see you.
Well it waved at me anyhow.
Seen all the little childer play.
Making sand castles, on a summers day.
Swimming in the sea, oh so blue.
Splashing about with our beach balls too.
Chorus
I went ta the sea, I went ta the sea.
I went ta the sea, for the see ta sea.
Did the sea see you, did the sea see you.
Well it waved at me anyhow.
An’ I really see it now.
Sure it waved at me anyhow/
C’mon Johnny, you’re only doting now.
You’re only doting now.
