Beautiful World

My, my, my it's a beautiful world
 I like swimming in the sea
 I like to go out beyond the white breakers
 Where a man can still be free
 Or a woman if you are one
 I like swimming in the sea
 Oh my, my, my it's a beautiful world
 I like drinking Irish tea
 With a little bit of Lapsang Souchong
 I like making my own tea
 Oh my, my, my it's a beautiful world
 I like driving in my car
 I'll roll the top down, sometimes I travel quite far
 And drive to the ocean and stare up at the stars
 I like driving in my car
 All around is anger
 And automatic guns
 It's death in large numbers
 No respect for women or our little ones
 I tried talking to Jesus
 But He just put me on hold
 Said, "He'd been swamped by calls this week
 He could not shake His cold"
 And still this emptiness persists
 Perhaps this is as good as it gets
 You've given up the drink
 And those nasty cigarettes
 I leave the party early, at least with no regrets
 I watch the sun as it comes up, I watch it as it sets
 Yeah, this is as good as it gets
 So my, my, my it's a beautiful world
 I like swimming in the sea
 I like to go out beyond the white breakers
 Where a man can still be free
 Or a woman if you are one
 I like swimming in the sea
 Yeah
