"End Of The Pier" lyrics - ANDY PARTRIDGE

ANDY PARTRIDGE
"End Of The Pier"

Rock legs gammon garter kicking
Trip week to the floor and
Kiss me quick one last time

Pinball plimsoll plaice and perfume,
Vinegar the sweet fish
Swims away from my line

What the butler saw was heaven
Ice cream clam and legs eleven
What the butler saw was heaven
Now the coin's dropped
It's clear
Guess this is the end of the pier

You look saucy in the
Stetson beetle fringe and bingo!
We'll pretend we're newlyweds
Postcards, home you went
The tide comes in
To melt our castle
Built alone in sandy beds

What the butler saw was heaven
Cat who got the cream in Devon
What the butler saw was heaven
Now the coin's dropped
It's clear
Guess this is the end of the pier

Kiss me quick and squeeze me slow oh oh oh
Out goes love and in comes woe woe woe

What the butler saw was heaven
Ice cream clam and legs eleven
What the butler saw was heaven
Now the coin's dropped
It's clear
We can go no further than here
(now I realize that I'm the souvenir)
So what the butler saw was heaven
Cat who got the cream in Devon
What the butler saw was heaven
Now the coin's dropped
It's clear
Guess this is the end
