When your sheet music's in Morecambe
And you're in green and sunny Calderdale
Pick up your ukulele and swing your arm and maybe
They won't see you mime mime mime
You packed your car up ready for the journey
Like you have done a hundred times before
You walked past your sheet music now you're unable to use it
So just sit back and mime mime mime
It happens to the best of us
No need to feel so blue
It's only natural to think that
Your memory is going and your memory is too
When your sheet music's in Morecambe
And you're in green and sunny Calderdale
Pick up your ukulele and swing your arm and maybe
They won't see you mime mime mime
You set off down the M6 in the sunshine
The radio's on and everything is fine
Now you're sitting empty-handed
'Cos your sheet music is stranded
So just sit back and mime mime mime
So just sit back and mime mime mime
So just sit back and mime mime mime
Oh my sheet music's up beside by the seaside
Oh my sheet music's stranded by the sea
Now I can't be making music and it's just not fair
But the brass band can 'cos they remembered theirs
Oh I left my sheet music by the seaside
It's back up the M6 by the sea
And there's lots of songs to play
But I can't because my music's by the seaside
And not with me
