Are we nearly there yet?

Are we nearly there yet? When can we see the sea? Driving over a humpback bridge Making me feel like my stomach Was rolling off a ridge


Are we nearly there yet?

The games of I spy exhausted

No music to listen to

Only the hiss and crackle

Coming from the dodgy car radio


Are we nearly there yet?

So bored, hungry and thirsty

Strapped in my seat difficult to see

My sister to my left

Mum and Dad in front of me


Are we nearly there yet?

Oh yes, yes! There is the sea

Not long to the beach now

Brought my bucket, spade

And flags with me


On our way back home now

Been a long day for me

Playing on the beach

And swimming in the sea

So tired and weary

My bed is calling me


Are we nearly there yet?
