lyrics

Sue, Paddy and Eric
Are apparently Everso Cross
Everso, everso cross
Down in Nequay

Sue has packed a matalo top
Paddy’s hair’s backcombed
Eric’s sporting buggerstraps
All have footwear disowned

They came here for a holiday
They came here for a spree
To pitch their tents and sing their songs
To know a life that’s free

But now
Sue, Paddy and Eric
Are apparently Everso Cross
Everso, everso cross
Down in Newquay

Because
The Urban District Council says
Beatniks here are grimy –
Newquay is a clean resort;
Newquay’s neat and tidy

Eric say’s that’s rubbish
His washes, “fairly frequent”;
Every couple of days at least –
Whenever is convenient

And yet
Sue Paddy and Eric
Are everso, everso cross
Everso, everso cross
Down in Newquay

For
Paddy says the townsfolk
Won’t let her near the water
From the tap three hundred yards away -
Besides, she’s not much of a walker

Sue says its all just silly
And people in polythene macks
and “silly straw hats, shorts and plimsolls”
Should really get off their backs

As
Sue, Paddy and Eric
Are apparently everso cross
Everso, everso cross
Down in Newquay

The denizens of Newquay
Are putting up signs that say:
“Beatnicks may not shop inside
nor drink, nor work, nor play”.

Being a beatnik’s an excellent life
A life of freedom and hope
Playing guitar and travelling -
But don’t forget the soap!

Or
Like Sue, Paddy and Eric
You’ll end up everso cross
Everso, Everso cross
Down in Newquay

Like Sue, Paddy and Eric
You’ll end up everso cross
Everso, Everso cross
Down in Newquay
