Le Touquet 1937

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 20 Dec 2005

You make a trip to Paree
to meet Tom, Dick and Harry
but next time you reach Calais
Travel North!
You'll know you've reached Le Touquet
when all the lads to you say
Let's have a drink and you pay
You're North!

I'm one of the lads from Le Touquet
Pardon me taking a bouquet
streamlined and classy
admired for my chassis
well that's what the ladies all say
I'm one of the lads of Le Touquet
Might be the son of a Duke Eh!
Lose ev'ry beano down at the Casino!
I'm one of the lads of Le Touquet.

I'm one of the lads of Le Touquet
A Devil if there's any whoopa!
Like my ancestors! It's off chest protectors
Oh Boy! and I'm into the fray!
I'm one of the lads of Le Touquet
on one cocktail I can go gay
get oriental with girls continental
I'm one of the lads for Le Touquet.

I'm one of the lads of Le Touquet
I'm just a smasher at croquet
I win their dollars and they get limp collars
when all the old buffers I play
I'm one of the lads of Le Touquet
At indoor sports too I'm OK
With a Duchess the Minx,
I've played Tiddlewinks
I'm one of the lads of Le Touquet.

I'm one of the lads of Le Touquet
Pardon me raising my topee
hearing oof clinking somehow starts me thinking
there's creditors I must pay!
I'm on of the lads of Le Touquet
Uncle will always assist Eh!
When life's not roses,
takes care of my clothes's
I'm one of the lads of Le Touquet.

I'm one of the lads of Le Touquet
You've heard that I wave from the poop Eh!
When my ship's leaving the ladies all grieving
the crew shouting Hip Pip Hoo ray.
I'm one of the lads of Le Touquet
Then down with the cargo I stray
Myself away stowing, then land my fare owing
I'm one of the lads of Le Touquet.

I'm one of the lads of Le Touquet
would someone lend me a coupe
my car is shocking, the big end keeps knocking
and so does my landlord each day!
I'm one of the lads of Le Touquet
the loan of your car if marked UK
Prestige I'll keep up, your tyres I'll keep blown up
I'm one of the lads of Le Touquet.

I'm one of the lads of Le Touquet
As front page news I'm always au fait
In ladies diaries if you make enquiries
I'm called Casanova today!
I'm one of the lads of Le Touquet
and to me the widows all say
My husband was willing, but gee you're just thrilling
I'm one of the lads of Le Touquet.
