Where you’re loading up the basket for the both of us,

I’m a-lazing round the flat in my boxer shorts.

We could move out to the suburbs, and have a couple of kids,

Find somewhere safe to raise them up, preferably by the beach.
C Am
Because I know you love the ocean baby, I know you love the sea,

Well you know that I love you, and I know you love me.

And with that we can do, whatever we want,

The future is an oyster, we’re the Tabasco sauce.

With a little bit of luck, and a little squeeze of lemon,
F G C
We can enjoy the adventures, of our whole lives together.
