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
