[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?
