Lord above protect me from my family, do not let them get in touch with me

I don’t mind the sweating and the screaming, gimme a room seven foot by three

So do not give me ‘Fare thee well’, St Peter Port, do not give me ‘Sarnia Cherie’
    Am             G7              D               Am          G7        D      Am       Am D Am
For I have urgent business on the mainland - this sure is a convenient place to be

Long may I smell the eucalyptus and keep those grasping hands across the sea
    Am               G7           D                  Am               G7     D       Am
