~~~ When Ya' Askin' For The Time ~~~

I was tramping down the highway, on me way to Jindabine,
When this fella' pulled me up and said, "Hello."
He asked me for the time, and if I was doin' fine,
And then he said goodbye and let me go.

It gets on me flamin' wick, and it really makes me sick,
When a bloke he stops me dead out on the track.
And he asks me for the time, and if I'm doin' fine,
Then he turns around and shows his flamin' back.

Every bloke should know, when a man is on the go,
And he's headin' for his place out in the scrub.
And if he needs a place chat, 'bout this or flamin that,
Then he'd go and have a yarn down at the pub.

But all you blokes out there, if ya really have care,
When ya' stop a man and ask him for the time.
Discuss a few more things, like motor cars or string,
And take him home and share a glass of wine.

'Cos a bloke that shares his plonk, until he's flamin' zonked,
From a flagon of a red or maybe white.
And drinks with his new friend, till the flagons at its end,
Then puts him up to camp the flamin' night.

So don't treat it like a joke, when you see a worn out bloke,
Who's trampin' out towards the setting sun.
It's no big flamin' deal, to invite him for a meal,
And to have a yarn get drunk and have some fun.

~~~ Ode to Home Brew ~~~

Have you ever had the sudden urge, to get a gut load full of grog,
and have you ever been so drunk you couldn't stand.
And have you staggered down the roadway, unsteady on ya' feet,
and ended up some place you hadn't planned.

Drinkin' grog it is a past time, it's been our way of life,
as every Aussie bloke he seems to know.
But he's never had the power, to stop at only one,
he'd just drinks and drinks until he overflows.

And, if he can't afford to buy it, he just makes his flamin' own
Home brew it is the only way to go.
'Cos you can brew it in a bottle, or in a keg or in a jar,
and it's cheaper than the pub we bloody know.

And we all have different recipes, for the home brew that we make,
some are better, some are worse, but they're okay.
And you can drink it by the truck load, in the comfort of ya' home,
and if you get drunk you'll never loose your way.

So all you seasoned drinkers, all you blokes from near and far,
the ones that bugle big brown bottles by the score.
Just make your bloody own, then ya' missus shouldn't moan,
if you get drunk and sleep upon the floor.

And when your time is up, and you leave this world of ours,
when you pull the pin and fi-na-lly let go.
God will take you by the hand, into the promised land,
to that happy place where free grog always flows.

~~~ JC ~~~

Me missus is a know-all, she's always lookin' for a fight,
But, she really hasn't got a flamin' clue.
And she reckons that Jesus Christ, is a better bloke than me,
That's when we had this real, ding-dong blue.

She started off by sayin', that when Jesus was a lad,
How he'd done, every thing that he was ever told.
And he was a ripper bloke, and respected everyone,
From the children, men and women to the old.

But, I told her she was stupid, and she was a flamin' mug,
And that she'd never read a bible in her life.
And if she wants to preach the word, of Jesus Bloody Christ,
She should've been a priest and not a wife.

So I told that silly woman all about that Jesus Christ,
'Cos I'd read that bloody bible years ago.
And I knew about the stories, that every body told,
When Jesus and his mates they ran this show.

"So I told her that!"

Jesus, never kissed a sheila, or threw a flamin' punch
And he never drunk a truck load full of grog.
He just used a hammer and nail, and made things outa' wood,
And for that, he got crucified and flogged.

And he claimed that he was magic, and he fixed sick people up,
And he feed the pop-u-lus with bread and fish.
And he made the cripples walk, and the leper's well again,
But he never drunk a truck load full of piss.

Then he got a mob together, twelve crawlers so they say,
And he made 'em wash his feet and scrub his toes.
And he made 'em swear to secrecy, of their demented ways
And to follow him around each place he goes.

And he started tellin' yarns about, the Pharaoh and the Kings
And he said that they were crooks and bloody queer.
And he made another fella, cart, lumps of rocks around,
But he never drunk a truck load full of beer.

But he was a lazy bastard, 'cos he never seemed to work,
He kept bludgin' off the people as he went.
And they gave him lotsa' tucker and lotsa' of flamin' cash,
'Cos he made 'em give it up for flamin' lent.

Then every one got sick of him, and all his crazy mates,
'Cos they're wowsers, and they're bludgers, and they're wogs
So they told 'em to get out of town, and never to come back,
And if they did come back they'd feed 'em to the dogs.

But they wouldn't bloody listen, they just wouldn't bloody go,
They just raved about how Jesus was the boss.
So the locals done their nana's, and chucked those crawlers down a well,
And they grabbed JC and nailed him to a cross.

Me missus she just looked at me in total disbelief,
And mumbled out these words and shook her head.
"If Jesus he hears that story, you stupid drunken mug,
He'll send a bolt of lightning down, to strike you bloody dead."

So the moral of this story is; never argue with ya' wife,
'Cos she'll tell you things you never want to hear.
Just let her have her way, and booze your day away,
As you drink a bloody truck load full of beer.

~~~ Beer, Mate! ~~~

Have ya' ever thought about,
The water that ya' drink.
It clogs ya' pipes and rusts 'em out,
So I'll tells ya' what I think.

Beer, Mate!

Now beer it's a bonzer drink,
It puts 'airs upon ya' chest.
It's better than a sheila mate,
In fact, it's the flamin' best

I started drinkin' years ago,
Buglin' big brown bottles by the score.
I'd drink until I overflowed,
Then fall ar'sup on the floor.

I'd polish off twelve king browns,
For brekkie every day.
Then guzzle down a dozen more,
Before headin' on me way.

Then for mornin' smoke 'o',
I'd down a pot or two.
Then get back, to flamin' work,
Makin' kits of home made brew.

Then for lunch I'd lubricate,
Me beer tube with ice cold grog.
I'd elbow bend till two o'clock,
Then back, to workin' like a dog.

I'd hit the pub at knock off time,
And drink till ten PM.
Then go home and sleep it off,
Then start it all gain'.

So! Beer mate, it's the way to go,
Fill ya' fridge on every shelf.
'Cos if the Good Lord knew, a better brew,
Then he's kept it to him-self.

~~~ So Ya' Think I'm Lazy ~~~

"You give me the flamin' irrits," She ses',
"Just sittin' there drinkin' flamin' beer all day.
Why don't you git off your arse,
Ya' lazy bastard , and get some flamin' class."

"Bloody lazy," I ses, "Is that what ya' think,
Each time, I sits down to have a rest and have a drink.
And class! Strike me pink, a man needs his own relief,
And all ya' do is bring me flamin' grief."

"You'd nag a man to death, given' 'alf a chance,"
I ses, as I get up to change me flamin' pants.
"I'm sicka' listenin' to ya yell and moan,
I'd be better off just bein' on me own."

All she ses' is, "And where do you think you are goin' now,"
"Out!", I ses', and mumbles that she's just a silly cow".
"Out! Down to the pub, where a man can get a bit of peace and quiet,
And not be nagged by you and cause a riot."

"'Cos strike a light, all you want to do is moan,
And argue, bloody argue, it's got me beat why ya gotta' groan.
Ya' never bloody satisfied with what's ya' got in life,
And all's ya' do is moan and cause me pain and strife."

"And when I's gets back, from down that flamin' pub,
I'll be drunk, and if you 'aven't cooked me any grub.
I'm gunna' build you a new 'ouse, a flamin' dog 'ouse,
And I'll shove ya' in it, then you'll be as quiet as a mouse."

~~~ Sometimes ~~~

Sometimes we think we're wonderful,
And sometimes we think we're cool.
But when we drink too flamin' much
We're a flamin' bloody fool.

So listen to this story
That I was bloody told.
By me flamin' missus,
It made me blood run cold.

"She said"

"Get out ya' cranky bastard!
Why the hell are you still here?
You've had enough to sink a ship
From all that flamin' beer."

"'Cos every time you drink too much
Ya' mind goes 'round the bend,
I'd of thought ya'd had more flamin' brains
But ya' think from your wrong end."

"Ya' rave about how good ya' are
And of all the things ya' know,
But ya' bloody know sweet bugger all
So, I don't know why ya' crow."

"And you know nothing 'bout no one,
You know nothing much of life,
And you know less, of flamin' me,
That's why you are in strife."

"'Cos ya' reckon you're a lover,
Of great re-bloody known,
But when you get into the cot
Ya' like a bloody clown."

"'Cos ya' breath it smells like turpentine,
And ya' eyes glow in the dark.
And ya'd probably scare the pigeons
Off, the statues in the park."

"And ya' smell just like a brewery
That's been gutted by a fire,
And ya' say ya' sweet and innocent
Just like a schoolboys choir."

"And ya' tell me you're a hero
And ya' tough and bloody strong,
And how that you, can clear a room,
But I know it's from ya' pong."

"And ya' think from drinkin' bucket fulls
Of that liquid amber brew,
It'll makes ya' flamin' bullet proof
And bloody handsome too."

"But ya' bloody well mistaken,
And ya' bloody well mislead,
'Cos, I'd rather sleep with Dracula
Or bloody well be dead."

"So, you can go to buggery
'Cos ya' make me sick ya' see,
Just get out of here and don't come back
'Cos ya' don't belong with me".

So I listened to her story
Kinda' quiet, mild and meek.
Then, I pulled the blankets to me head,
Curled up and went to sleep.

'Cos tomorra' is anotha' day,
I'll be sober just by then,
Then I'll open up a beer,
And she'll be on me back agin'.

So I might as well stay flamin' drunk
And pretend I'm flamin' smooth,
And flirt with chicks, fat and thick,
And pretend I'm in the groove.

~~~ They All Need Bloody Glasses ~~~

They reckon your good lookin'
And ya' sorta', kinda' cute
And you're as pretty as a pic-cha'
And as delicate as fruit
And ya' smell just like a flowa'
And ya' lips are rosy red
And a man would be in 'eaven
If, 'e could get ya' inta' bed.

But I think they all need glasses
And a seein' eye-dog too
'Cos there are plenty other women
Besides just bloody you.
'Cos I reckon your plain ugly
And ya' nose is short and fat
There's spuds, growin' from ya' ears
And ya' hair looks like a 'at.

And ya' feet are fat and stinky
And you're pigeon toed as well
And ya' teeth have turned to yella'
And ya' breath it bloody smells,
And ya' make-ups plastered two foot thick
It's a bloody big disgrace
And when ya' take ya' bra off
Ya' lose the wrinkles off ya' face.

But all the blokes from down the pub
Still reckon you're okay
But they really 'aven't got a clue
'Cos they're drunk most ev-ery day
And they've never seen ya' in the raw
Or ate that poison you call grub
'Cos they only ever see ya'
When ya' pissed down at the pub.

~~~ And Ya' ~~~

I bet ya' wife don't think it's funny, when ya' spendin' all ya' money,
Down the pub drinkin' piss with all ya' mates.
And ya' never do go home, till ya' soaked right to the bone,
And ya' couldn't flamin' care if you are late.

And you forget about the strife, you'll get into with ya' wife,
And ya' really couldn't care a flamin' bit.
And ya' legs begin to groan, when you stagger your way home,
And ya' know ya' gunna' get into the shit.

And ya' trips up on ya' dog, and ya' bring up half the grog,
That ya' paid for, instead of payin' bills.
And ya' know ya' wife will yell, and tell you to go to hell,
While she's frothin' at her mouth and at the gills.

But when you stagger through the door, and stumble on the floor,
And chunder up a belly full of beer.
And ya' fall into ya' room, trippin' on a flamim' broom,
And find ya' missus gone she's disappeared.

But ya' fall onto ya' bed and rest ya' drunken head,
And think that if she's gone it's just too bad.
And when ya' finally wake, in the ducks and flamin' drakes,
And start to smile and feel rather glad.

'Cos the next time you come home, there's no one there to moan,
If ya' sober or indifferent or ya' pissed.
'Cos there's tucker on the shelf and you can cook ya' flamin' self,
So ya' missus she'll not be flamin' missed.

But! Now there's dishes in the sink, and they flamin' bloody stink,
And the grass is six foot high outside the door.
And ya' clothes are never clean, and footprints can be seen,
In the dirt that needs sweepin' off the floor.

And everything looks bad so, ya' stick in a flamin' ad
For a cook to sweep and wash ya' flamin' floor.
And ya' get a big surprise when there's only one reply,
And it's from the missus, that you had before.

~~~ Mutton Dressed As Lamb ~~~

I got home the other night to a God Almighty fright
With me missus that was goin' on the town.
She was mutton dressed as lamb, a tin of flamin' spam
In a nineteen fifties bloody ballroom gown.

I said she looked just like a crow and she orta' bloody know,
That her face it needed ironin' like her dress.
And I didn't have a clue, what she was gunna' do,
And who the hell was she tryin' to impress.

Then she began to cry, wipin' tears from her eyes,
As I told her she's not wanted any more.
I said, don't cry just shut ya' trap, 'cos it's a load of bloody crap,
As I shoved out her the flamin' bloody door.

I said to her to go and get, 'cos she's not me flamin' pet,
She's got fat and she looks like bags of grease.
And her teeth have fallen out, and she's' givin' me the gout,
So, get out and give a man some flamin' peace.

She used to be so nice, like exotic herbs and spice,
She was cuter than a post card in the mail,
Now she farts and bloody coughs like her end has fallen off
And she burps like a pig that's full of ale.

She's gone pigeon bloody toed, and growed a bloody mo,
And the hairs upon her back are ten foot long.
And her under-arms a charm, like the donkeys on the farm
And her breath it has an awful bloody pong.

So she screamed and then she yelled, I though well bloody hell,
What the hecks a man supposed to bloody do.
'Cos I've put up with this wife, for most me bloody life,
And the looks of her just makes me wanna' spew.

And she's got her mother here, that keeps moanin' in me ear,
And she's gotta' go as flamin' bloody well.
'Cos me life's a bloody wreck, and by bloody flamin' heck,
This place is like a livin' bloody hell.

So's I guess it's up to me, to chuck her out of here,
Or head for town or places that's unknown.
'Cos I lived in flamin' fear for me life and for me beer,
So she'd better take her mother as she's goin'.

It will be a great relief, and it'll never cause me grief,
To see the back of both their flamin' heads.
So she'd better pack her bag, and take that other flamin' hag,
And do exactly what I bloody said.

And if she doesn't leave, you can bet she'll bloody grieve,
'Cos I'll give her to the Salvo's for a gift.
And I'll give her mother too, before she gets me in a blue,
And cause a bloody God Almighty rift.

So, all you blokes out there, with a wife they cannot bear,
Tell 'em just exactly where to go.
And tell 'em how ya' feel, 'cos it ain't no great big deal,
'Cos with-out them, you'd be better off ya' know.

January 27, 2000

~~~ Grog ~~~

I think it's rather sad and it makes me flamin' mad
When the missus moans about the grog I drink.
And she grabs me aristotle's, me stubbies and me cans,
And empties them all down the flamin' sink.

So's I cracks me flamin' whip and gives her the flamin' slip,
And heads off down the road to get some more.
With me arms all loaded high, I's tries to get inside,
But she's gone and locked the bloody flamin' door.

So's I thumps and bloody kick, until I'm flamin' sick,
But she yells, to get and don't come flamin' back.
So I did me flamin' block and grabbed a flamin' rock,
And chucked it at the window with a whack.

And the window flamin' shattered, left the curtains all in tatters,
Then the missus pokes a shotgun through the glass.
So's I turns around to run and expose me flamin' bum,
And get a load of buckshot up me arse.

And I falls on to the ground and starts thrashin' all around,
A moanin' and a groanin' all in pain.
Then I crawls up to the door, on all me bloody fours,
And tell her I'll give up drinkin' once again.

So there is a moral here, if I wanna' drink me beer,
I'll just drink it in a moderate sorta' way.
Then I'll never be in strife with me lovin' wife,
And she' never throw me grog away again.
