Verses 1-7:
    C majorC           C7C7
After a rather tough year, we booked a holiday
FF      F minorFm
Under the sun, by a sandy bay
  C majorC       G+G      C majorC   G-C
We packed up our bags and we left

  C majorC             C7C7
We checked into the hotel and our hopes were high
     FF             F minorFm
But this swarm of god damned students shoved right by
   C majorC         G+G         C majorC   G-C
They nearly knocked us off our god damned feet

  C majorC               C7C7
We fought them to the lift but we didn't stand a chance
    FF          F minorFm
When we finally got in we were pressed against the glass
C majorC      G+G       C majorC   G-C
Stopping and hitting every floor

C majorC          C7C7
Safely in our room, mildly annoyed
  FF               F minorFm
We poured ourselves a glass of wine, then we heard a noise
      C majorC          G+G       C majorC   G-C
It was the god damned students shouting from below

   C majorC          C7C7
So we went up to the pool, looking for a spite
  FF             F minorFm
The students were already there, shouting with all their might
     C majorC        G+G         C majorC  G-C
Is there nowhere in this place that we can go

    C majorC               C7C7
Well I thought that I might dip a toe, maybe take the plunge
      FF               F minorFm
But it was overrun with students absorbing water like a sponge
   C majorC         G+G        C majorC   G-C
They mocked me while I loitered by the pool

   C majorC                C7C7
I was just about to take the dive when one of them jumped in
   FF            F minorFm
And I thought to myself, well I hope that he can't swim
    C majorC       G+G         C majorC   G-C
But he floated like a god damned greasy cork

-Solo-

Verses 8-13:
   C majorC             C7C7
Well back down in the corridors, weaving in and out
  FF               F minorFm
The students lying on the floor, I gave a little shout
   C majorC       G+G         C majorC   G-C
As I tripped over a god damned iPhone wire

 C majorC              C7C7
Enraged by this point, well I asked the hotel staff
     FF            F minorFm
Is there something you can do, but all they did was laugh
  C majorC      G+G    C majorC   G-C
The students are here to stay

        C majorC        C7C7
They came from Italy, Germany, Espana too
     FF               F minorFm
But their presence in this hotel makes me want to bash a few
   C majorC       G+G         C majorC   G-C
I'll tell you some lessons you should learn

    C majorC              C7C7
Don't monopolize the lift, don't go running in the hall
      FF          F minorFm
Don't take selfies on the roof unless you plan to fall
   C majorC         G+G          C majorC   G-C
I'll tell you something else that you should learn

   C majorC                 C7C7
Don't yell in the dead of night, try to learn something each day
    FF               F minorFm
Most importantly of all, please stay out of our way
   C majorC      G+G       C majorC   G-C
We've paid for our hotel room as well

   C majorC             C7C7
We should've gone to Briton, or maybe Mexico
  FF              F minorFm
Or anywhere there is, where the students will not go
   C majorC          G+G     C majorC  G-C C7C7 (ring)
Next year we will take a holiday at home
