Sea Side Greed

I have been to Ballybunion I've been there ten times before And I've only bought tea once there but I've had surprise in store More than five pounds for a sandwich and a lousy cup of tea That's not honesty in business, call that daylight robbery. There's not much in Ballybunion just a little stretch of strand And why so many people go there I will never understand How it holds such an attraction is a thing I'll never know Could it be that in warm weather the sea side is the place to go? . There's not much in Ballybunion it has no claim to renown Just a village by the ocean that some people call a town A village of gambling houses, chipper shops and boozer pubs And hotels where tourists pay well for their bed and for their grub. By the sea at Ballybunion I came face to face with greed Met with those whose god is money a repulsive sort of breed Met a lot of get rich quick types in that god forsaken place Those who by their over charging taint the name of Irish race. I have been to Ballybunion, Ballybunion by the sea And I left the sea side village with the unpleasant memory Of excessive over charging carried out in business name By ruthless and greedy people for the love of money gain.
