Lyrics

We’re (G7)go ing on a (C)lit tle day out, we’re off to the (G7)beach,

we’re gon na (G7)swim in the sea, hear the sea gulls (C)screech.

We’ll build a cas tle with our (C)buck et and spade,

hide from the sun and (Am)play in the shade,

may be we’ll have a (G7)le mon ade on our (C)lit tle day out,

(C)lit tle day out,

(C)lit tle day out,

(G7)lit tle day out.

We’re (G7)go ing on a (C)lit tle day out, we’re off to the (G7)beach,

we’re gon na (G7)swim in the sea, hear the sea gulls (C)screech.

We’ll build a cas tle with our (C)buck et and spade,

hide from the sun and (Am)play in the shade,

may be we’ll have a (G7)le mon ade on our (C)lit tle day out,

(C)lit tle day out,

(C)lit tle day out,

(G7)lit tle day out.

We’re (G7)go ing on a (G7)lit tle day out.

It’s not a (C)big day out where the (G)peo ple talk all (C)day,

we can (C)sing and shout and (G)drown them out a ny day.

We’re (Ab7)go ing on a (Db)lit tle day out, we’re off to a (Ab7)con cert,

See the girl on the (Db)vi o lin,

(Gb)Boom boom boom boom (Ab7)here it comes.

(D)Lit tle day out, we’re off to (A7)some where,

it’s a big sur prise, won’t know till we (D)get there.

It might be in side, it (D)might be out,

won’t it be great when (Bm)we find out.

That’s what we (A7)like a bout our (D)lit tle day out,

(D)lit tle day out,

(D)lit tle day out,

(A7)lit tle day out.
