Italy 2006 Ok, lets go to Italy Good looking blokes and lots to see. Just Wendy and Pauline and her daughter Vicki. Oh we'll have a great old time! We booked with Shearings, coach not plane A long coach ride? Must be insane Travel sickness, Diarrhoea and acute bum pain Oh we'll have a great old time! The first stop we make is Jolly Old France The Country of garlic. Language of romance. I squirm in my seat and dig out my pants. Oh we'll have a great old time! The public convenience, with self flushing loo Where spending a penny costs 50 cents too And trying to explain 'Je Voudrais un Poo' Oh we'll have a great old time! Across now to Belgium for our nightly stay. Then across the swiss border we travel next day, and onto Italian shores. 'Hip Hurray!' Oh we'll have a great old time! With the sun beating down, my companions turn red with assortments of cooling attire on their head. "It's too hot...wish i'd travelled to Blackpool instead" Oh we'll have a great old time! And we travel from hotel to hotel each day; waking up bright and early for each new day's play and for several excursions for which we must pay. And we'll have a great old time! Getting on with companions, with jokes and with pranks and taking the 'P' of the very loud Yanks and exchanging our pound coins for Euros in banks. Oh we'll have a great old time! Whilst struggling to make out what food we should choose from the limited info on foreign menus and bragging about all the weight we might lose. Oh we'll have a great old time! Whilst trudging around in the heat of the day behind guides explaining the stuff in our way As we struggle to hear what the heck they all say. Oh we'll have a great old time! And then travelling back the last leg of the trip with the usual stops for some water to sip. Then we dash for the loo, out of fear we might drip. Oh we'll have a great old time! At the end of this journey, one thing is quite clear For the friends that we leave, we will all shed a tear. it was worth the 4 days of severe diarrhoea Yes ... we HAD a great old time!
