Little Bathtubs

Little bathtubs in marinas, little bathtubs made of Ticky Tacky
Little bathtubs at the quayside and the owner at the bar
There's a white one and a white one and a white one and a white one
And they're all made out of Ticky Tacky and they all look the same

And they all have roller reefing and self tailing winches
And they all put a little reef in, in anything above a two
There's a Jenneau and a Beneteau and a Moody and a Westerly
And they're all made out of Ticky Tacky and they look just the same

And they all have weatherfaxes and global positioning
And a radar and a little screen that helps you to plot
There are gadgets and gizmos which show where the wind blows
And the owners all compare them and they all look the same

And the owners are all builders or accountants or solicitors
And they all drive down from London on a Friday afternoon
And they slip into their blazers and their Henri Lloyd moccasins
For an evening at the yachty clubby and they all look the same

And the owners all have wifeys who hate to go sailing
Except around the Greek Islands where they top up their tan
And they all sit in marinas and drink their G and Ts
And they all come from Billericay and they all look just the same

And they all have little children who love to go sailing
But they're all sent away to boarding school where they never get the chance
So they read their Arthur Ransome and dream of great voyaging
In a pretty little wooden cutter, off to Holland or France

Little bathtubs in marinas, little bathtubs on a swinging mooring
Little bathtubs at the quayside and the owner in the pub
There's a Jenneau and a Beneteau and a Moody and a Westerly
And they're all made out of Ticky Tacky and they all look the same

Note: the tune is as per the music to little boxes
