Chas & Dave

Chas & Dave (often billed as Chas 'n' Dave) are an English pop rock duo, most notable as creators and performers of a musical style labelled "rockney", which mixes "pub singalong, music-hall humour, boogie-woogie piano and pre-Beatles rock 'n' roll". For a time, "Rockney" was also the name of their record label, and they achieved several British chart hits, their major breakthrough being "Gertcha" in 1979, which peaked at #20 and was the first of eight Top 40 hit singles the duo played on. The act has also enjoyed nine best-selling albums. more »

Well, I've been working hard to reach me target
To earn a few bob for a day trip down to Margate
I'm gonna blow the lot tomorrow on all me family
We catch the coach at eight, so don't be late, we're off to see the sea
Hurry up will ya grandad, come on we're going

Down to Margate, don't forget your buckets and spades and cossys and all
Down to Margate, we'll have our fill of jellied eels at the cockle stall
Down to Margate, we'll go on the pier and we'll have a beer aside of the sea
Down to Margate, you can keep the Costa Brava
I'm telling ya mate, I'd rather have a day down Margate with all me family

Along the promenade we'll spend some money
Then we'll find a spot on the beach that's simply sunny
The kids will all enjoy themself digging up the sand
Collecting stones and winkle shells to take back home to nan
Behave yourself grandad, or you won't be going

Down to Margate, don't forget your buckets and spades and cossies and all
Down to Margate, we'll have our fill of jellied eels at the cockle stall
Down to Margate, we'll go on the pier and we'll have a beer aside of the sea
Down to Margate, you can keep the Costa Brava
I'm telling ya mate, I'd rather have a day down Margate with all me family

You can keep the Costa Brava and all of that palaver
Going no farther, me I'd rather have me a day down Margate with all me family
