The Who
Bernie’s Holiday Camp
Frank:
I'm your friendly green coat
And I welcome you to Bernie's Holiday Camp
One day and you'll be happy
It's Bernie you will thank
You must be little Tommy
Well call me Uncle Frank
Welcome you too, Mrs. Walker (Tommy: Didn't know I had an Uncle Frank; I've never met him, have I?)
Here you'll always find a helping hand (Tommy: Look there, Mum, a cage of budgies! Swimming pool and donkey rides, all free!)
The camp with the extras
(I'm in chalet number eleven)
(Tommy: It's all free, Mum!) When you come to Bernie's
You might think you're in heaven
Here we have the winner, folks
Have you ever seen a lovelier pair?
What a shapely ankle
What a perfect shin
If you could feel this silken thigh
You'd know who has to win
If you could feel this silken thigh
You'd know...
Nora:
You don't know how much I've missed
To feel a man again to dance, to kiss
Frank:
Your eyes reveal you're lonely
Nora:
This evening must pass slowly
Until we're one my heart won't rest
Will Tommy share our happiness?
Frank:
Of course he will I'll make him smile (Nora: You don't know how much I've missed)
(Nora: To feel a man again to dance, to kiss) I'll take him out to cinemas and fairs
Football and cricket
There'll never be a happier lad
I'll be more than an Uncle
I'll be just like a Dad
Tommy:
I will be a green coat, too
And when I'm big, I'll own a holiday camp
A camp with a difference
Always be good weather
When you come to Tommy's
The holiday's forever
Nora:
I'm glad you like your Uncle Frank
He'll surely love you, too
Just like a Dad
Tommy:
He's very nice, I think
Did he fight in the war?
Tommy and Nora:
When he's got his greencoat on
I love him even more
