Down at the shore there`s a place where there`s no one vacationing
There`s just the sound of the call of the wild overcoming the fear of the unknown
And I`ve got something to help you understand
Something waiting there beneath the sand
My metal detector
Is with me all of the time
I`m the inspector over the mine
Look past the volleyball (look past the ball)
Look past the squawking gull (look past the gull)
Ignore the mountain of discarded falderal
`Cause I`ve got something to make you understand
Something hidden there underneath the land
My metal detector
Is with me all of the time
I`m the inspector over the mine
Metal detector, watch it shine
Every seashell has a story to tell if you`re listening
But underneath every shell there`s a story as well if you`ve heard enough of the sea
Then everything on the top will just suddenly stop seeming interesting
So listen now to the sound of the things that are found underground
Don`t need no volleyball (don`t need no volleyball)
Don`t need no squawking gull (don`t need no squawking gull)
Don`t need to look at any bathing beauty doll (don`t need to look at any doll)
For I`ve got something to help you understand
Something waiting there beneath the sand
My metal detector
Is with me all of the time
I`m the inspector over the mine
Look past the volleyball (look past the ball)
Look past the squawking gull (look past the gull)
Ignore the mountain of discarded falderal
`Cause I`ve got something to make you understand
Something hidden there underneath the land
My metal detector
Is with me all of the time
I`m the inspector over the mine
Metal detector, watch it shine
Don`t need no volleyball (don`t need no volleyball)
Don`t need no squawking gull (don`t need no squawking gull)
Metal detector, all the time (metal detector all the time
