[Verse 1]
The temptation is all too great
And now it's gone and it's all too late
I tried and I tried, I never applied
Any of the morals that I wish I had

[Verse 2]
You wait fifty whole weeks
Through all of your hides and all of your seeks
When the time finally arrives
It dawns on me the attention derives

[Pre-Chorus]
From the girlfriend that you left at home
Sitting in your living room all alone

[Chorus]
You hate the suntan
And you can't stand to be around the short-sleeved man
And the gaggle of girls who are singing too loud
Well, they do my head in
You hate the tattoos
And you can't handle the skinhеads
The ones who cannot handle thеir booze
They're making you scared to be proud
Are you scared to be proud?
How can that still be?
Come and sing your heart out with me
[Verse 3]
But if you bide your time
And you stand there and you wait in line
It won't be long before her sarong
Is lying on your bathroom floor

[Pre-Chorus]
But what about the girlfriend you left at home
Sitting in the living room all alone?

[Chorus]
You hate the suntan
And you can't stand to be around the short-sleeved man
And the gaggle of girls who are singing too loud
Well, they do my head in
You hate the tattoos
And you can't handle the skinheads
The ones who cannot handle their booze
They're making you scared to be proud
How is that still allowed?
Are you scared to be proud?
When you're on cloud number nine

[Pre-Chorus]
And the girlfriend that you left at home
Sitting in your living room all alone
[Chorus]
You hate the suntan
And you can't stand to be around the short sleeved man
And the gaggle of girls who are singing too loud
They fucking do my head in
You hate the tattoos
And you can't handle the skinheads
The ones who cannot handle their booze
They're making you scared to be proud
Are you scared to be proud?
How is that still allowed?
When you're on cloud number nine
