There's lots of things in Sydney that I really like to do
Like lying on the beach all day or going to the zoo
Or visiting my lovely friends or having them to tea
But sometimes there is nowhere on this earth I'd rather be...
Than riding on the ferry on a Sunday morning
Sailing off to Manly for a day of fun
Gazing at the sky and seeing seagulls soaring
Me and Cora sitting in the morning sun
At Manly they have ice-cream, the very best in town
And you can eat it while you watch the people strolling up and down
And sometimes they have music playing in the open air
And stalls along the promenade with goodies rich and rare
And when the sun is brightly shining and the sea's brilliantly blue
We swim a while then sit a while and take in all the view
There's people in the water and there's people on the shore
There's people looking sun-tanned and people looking sore
When we go riding on the ferry on a Sunday morning
Sailing off to Manly for a day of fun
Gazing at the sky and seeing seagulls soaring
Me and Cora sitting in the morning sun
And when the day is over and the light's begun to fail
We hop aboard the ferry and our homeward way we sail
We're tired and we're sunburnt and the socks are still on our skin
And one day very soon we hope to do it all again
We'll go riding on the ferry on a Sunday morning
Sailing off to Manly for a day of fun
Gazing at the sky and seeing seagulls soaring
Me and Cora sitting in the morning sun
We'll go riding on the ferry on a Sunday morning
Sailing off to Manly for a day of fun
Gazing at the sky and seeing seagulls soaring
Me and Cora sitting in the morning sun
