lyrics

[chorus]
Oh, if you’re off on holiday, try beautiful Porthemmet
Cornwall’s best kept secret, like a Caribbean film set,
Ask us for directions; you heard it quite correctly,
Over the hills and round the bend, and you’ll be there dreckly

It never rains in Cornwall, the sun do shine all day,
And hordes of dolphins do cavort in wide Porthemmet Bay.
We make the biggest pasties, the world has ever seen,
Two gert lumps of pastry with a cow shoved in between.

[chorus]

You seen it on that Interweb, such views to feast your eyes on,
Miles of empty golden sands that stretch to the horizon.
Our fish and chips are famous; the best you see for sale,
We’re deep fried half a ton of spuds, and battered up a whale.

[chorus]

The graveyards are quite empty because no-one wants to die
The pensioners go surfing underneath the summer sky
The pope came down to Cornwall, and he was heard to pray
That paradise be half as nice as our Porthemmet Bay!

[chorus]

You’re motored over more hills than you can comprehend,
And up and down those country lanes, they drove you round the bend
So remember what I told you, as you drive away,
It’s Cornwall’s best-kept secret – and secret it will stay!
Oh yes it’s Cornwall’s best-kept secret – and secret it will stay!

Are we there yet? No!
Are we there yet? No!
Are we there yet? NO!
Next year, we’re bloody going back to Weston…
