Lyrics: I wanna tell you about my mountain home Where all the ladies names are Joan Where husbands works back late at night He's hopes are up for his trousers down With hostess on a business flight Taxi in a Mercedes drive I hope that driver's coming out alive The garden is a dorsetted That lady - she's so corseted She's got 15 ways to lead that boy astray He thinks he's one and only But that lovely she's so lonely She pumps him full of breakfast and she sends him on his way What a sing song dance What a performance What a cheap tent show Oh no no no no no CHORUS Then the boys light up Then the boys light up X2 Then the boys light up Then the boys light up - light up - light up Silently she opens the drawer Mothers litte helper is coming out for more Strategically positioned before the midday show Her back is arched, those lips are parched Repeated blow by blow And later at the party where all the MPs rave About the hummers she's been giving and the money that they save To her it is skin lotion For his promotion too That flat in Surfers Paradise with the ocean view What a sing song dance What a performance What a cheap tent show Oh no no no no no CHORUS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_crawl ------------------------------------------- NZOZ NZOZ1981 1981 Australia Early Eighties 1980's 1980s 80's 80s Extended Tags: Guy McDonough, James Reyne, Brad Robinson Musical Terms: New Wave, Rock, Pop, Singer/Songwriter, Reggae-tinged, Aussie, Old Australian Band
