The sea has frozen

The sea has frozen off the Isle of Wight
So we don’t  need boats to get across
It’s just that there’s a shortage of street lights.

In the day time it’s been very bright
And on a cold,cold sea there is no moss
The sea has frozen off the Isle of Wight

There is a problem on a moonless night
Walking on the sea with thick ground frost
Because there’s a dearth of  yellow neon lights.

And there are no cafes  for a bite
I got a  dreadful feeling,I am lost
The sea has frozen off the Isle of Wight

My wellingtons  have turned a dirty white
Walking free, the fresh  air is a feast
It’s just that there’s a shortage of street lights.

My face with vaseline I have well greased
On a lead I have my wildebeeste
The sea has frozen round the Isle of Wight
Why are there no glaring neon lights.?
