| Down at the shore there’s a place where there’s no one vacationing
|
| There’s just the sound of the call of the wild overcoming the fear of the
|
| unknown
|
| And I’ve got something to help you understand
|
| Something waiting there beneath the sand
|
| My metal detector
|
| Is with me all of the time
|
| I’m the inspector over the mine
|
| Look past the volleyball (look past the ball)
|
| Look past the squawking gull (look past the gull)
|
| Ignore the mountain of discarded folderol
|
| 'Cause I’ve got something to make you understand
|
| Something hidden there underneath the land
|
| My metal detector
|
| Is with me all of the time
|
| I’m the inspector over the mine
|
| Metal detector, watch it shine
|
| Every seashell has a story to tell if you’re listening
|
| But underneath every shell there’s a story as well if you’ve heard enough of
|
| the sea
|
| Then everything on the top will just suddenly stop seeming interesting
|
| So listen now to the sound of the things that are found underground
|
| Don’t need no volleyball (don't need no volleyball)
|
| Don’t need no squawking gull (don't need no squawking gull)
|
| Don’t need to look at any bathing beauty doll (don't need to look at any doll)
|
| For I’ve got something to help you understand
|
| Something waiting there beneath the sand
|
| My metal detector
|
| Is with me all of the time
|
| I’m the inspector over the mine
|
| Look past the volleyball (look past the ball)
|
| Look past the squawking gull (look past the gull)
|
| Ignore the mountain of discarded falderal
|
| 'Cause I’ve got something to make you understand
|
| Something hidden there underneath the land
|
| My metal detector
|
| Is with me all of the time
|
| I’m the inspector over the mine
|
| Metal detector, watch it shine
|
| Don’t need no volleyball (don't need no volleyball)
|
| Don’t need no squawking gull (don't need no squawking gull)
|
| Metal detector, all the time (metal detector all the time) |
