[G]Didn’t we have a [C]lovely time the [G]day we [D]went to [G]Bangor
[C]A beautiful day we had [G]lunch on the way
And [A7]all for under a [D]pound you know
[G]Then on the way back I [C]cuddled with Jack
And we [G]opened a [D]bottle of [G]cider
[C]Singing a few of our [E7]favorite songs
as the [A]wheels [D]went [G]round [A] [D] [G]


[G]Do you recall the [C]thrill of it all
as we [G]walked a[D]long the [G]sea front
[C]Then on the sand we [G]heard a brass band
That [A7]played De Diddle De Bum [D]Ta Ra Ra
[G]Elsie and me had [C]some cups of tea
then we [G]took a [D]peddler [G]boat out
[C]Splashing away as we [E7]toured round the bay
as the [A]wheels [D]went [G]round [A] [D] [G]

[G]Then on the way back I [C]cuddled with Jack
And we [G]opened a [D]bottle of [G]cider
[C]Singing a few of our [E7]favorite songs
as the [A]wheels [D]went [G]round [A] [D] [G]


[G]Wasn’t it nice eating [C]chocolate ice
as we [G]strolled a[D]round the [G]funfair
[C]Then we ate [G]eels on the big Ferris wheel
we [A7]sailed above the [D]ground but then
[G]We had to be quick [C]because Elsie felt sick
and we [G]had to find [D]somewhere to [G]take her
[C]I said to her lad “what [E7]made her feel bad”
Twas the [A]wheels [D]went [G]round [A] [D] [G]


[G]Didn’t we have a [C]lovely time the [G]day we [D]went to [G]Bangor

[G]Elsie and me we [C]finished our tea,
and we [G]said good[D]bye to the [G]seaside
[C]Back on the bus [G]Flo says to us [A7]oh isn’t it a [D]shame to go
[G]Wouldn’t it be grand to have [C]cash on demand,
and to [G]live like [D]this for a[G]lways
[C]Oh it makes me feel ill when I [E7]think of the Mill
