AMID disappointment at some of the less than exotic destinations – such as the Falklands and South Georgia – on the new ‘green list’ of 12 countries where Britons will be allowed to take a holiday without quarantining on return, we offer a pick-me-up singalong for the journey . . .
Let’s take a boat to South Georgia
We’ll fight our way through the squall
Stay in a container?
It’s a no-brainer
Let’s get away from it all
Let’s take a trip to South Sandwich
No need to come back at all
After we’ve rowed in
Nine months we’ll be snowed in
Let’s get away from it all
Let us survey St Helena
What’s there to do? B****r all
Poor lonely old Boney
Was there on his owny
Let’s get away from it all
Chorus:
We’ll travel at pace to every place
No matter how costly the fare
But you must be told
You’ll face wet and cold
You won’t wish you were there
Let’s visit Tristan da Cunha
Where the waves roll in 50ft tall
Stuck in mid-Atlantic
We’ll just go frantic
Let’s get away from it all
Maybe we’ll look at Ascension
Where Darwin once made a landfall
But our natural selection
Would incline to rejection
Let’s get away from it all
Let’s fly on down to the Falklands
In Stanley we’ll have a ball
But it would be annoying
To see Argies deploying
Let’s get away from it all
