lyrics

I'm feeling tired and a little blue but I
know a place that'll get me through
it's a kinda nice if you get the weather
and the sun'll surely shine on you
We'll take a trip in my beat up car and
head along the coast
bring some friends and some bottles of wine
and share em with the ones we love the most

CHORUS
We can smile and leave our worries behind
We can kiss our blues away
save em up for a rainy day
we're heading for the Biarritz
we're going to the Biarritz
we'll be livin in the Biarritz
the Biarritz of the north

we'll get ourselves a little caravanette
with a view down to the shore
just you and me I can guarantee I
couldn't ask for more
take in the view from a seat at the harbour and
watch the world pass us by
say hello to all the lovely people
enjoying the bright blue sky

CHORUS
Intro
CHORUS

BRIDGE
and when the sun sets over the islands
and the tide has turned for the night
thank your lucky stars for a place like this
and with the ones you love we can reminisce

remember when we all got drunk and stupid
remember all the crazy things that you did
remember The times when we would dance and twist
oh!, shakin in the Biarritz
shakin in the Biarritz
shakin in the Biarritz

Chorus
