Lyrics

Postcard

[Intro]

Hold it, George, too fast

When... okay, a little slower, that's good

When I go away, I'd like to send a postcard

When I go away, I'd like to send a postcard

When I go away, I'd like to send a postcard home

[Verse 1]

We arrived last night

The flight was smooth, it's a groove

Left my wallets on the plane

Well, it's happened again

Well, the weather's fine

It hasn't rained very much

All the hotels booked up

So we spent the night in a house on the beach

Whoa, yeah

[Chorus]

When I go away, I'd like to send a postcard home

Just to let my folks know that I'm alright

They don't have to worry when I go off on my own

When I'm out of money, I can call them on the phone and they can post it, too sweet

[Verse 2]

I got an insect bite in my leg

Sleeping on the beach last night

Had to have an injection

But I think it's alright now

Johnny paid the bill

The doctor said I'd be ill

If I didn't have treatment

Now we're broke, so I thought I'd drop you a line

Whoa, yeah

[Chorus]

When I holiday, I'd like to send a postcard home

Just to let my folks know that I'm alright

They don't have to worry when I go off on my own

P.S., could you send me fifty quid and mail it to the police?

When I go away, I'd like to send a postcard home

Just to let my folks know that I'm alright

They don't have to worry when I go off on my own

P.S., could you send me fifty quid and mail it to the police?

[Scatting]
