I'm the inspector over the mine

Look past the volley ball
Look past the squawking gull
Ignore the mountain of discarded falderal

Pre Chorus:
Cause I've got something to help you understand
something hidden there beneath the sand:

I'm the inspector over the mine
Metal detector: watch it shine

Don't need no squawking gull
Metal detector all the time
