Jubilant delight fills the carriage of the train
on frenzied heights of glee
There's a buzz in the air
like a trapped fly trying an escape
wonder if this time it'll be me
Who'll be first to see the sea?
Noses pressed up against the window
round one more bend and a tree
Suitcase packed
got my bucket and spade
sun cream ready, one, two, three
Who'll be first to see the sea?
The box that held the lemon marmalade sandwiches
is empty and the flask has only a dreg of coffee left
Seagulls hang on the wind
smell of sea salt's in the air
should be there in time for tea
Who'll be first to see the sea?
I was first to see the sea
