The Lyrics
This parody is about some rich guy throwin away his wealthy lifestyle to live the basic uncomplicated lifestyle of an Aussie yobbo. I originally submitted this song years ago as "Shearers Singlet" but the pacing was terrible so I've repaced it and re-submitted it under as its new title.
Once I lived in a ritzy mansion,
I drove a red Rolls Royce,
But mate that was years ago;
I left it all behind,
I was high class, wore penguin suits,
I had a bunch of snobby friends,
Mate that was years ago.
I left it all behind, wearin my
Sing-let and-brown stubby shorts,
Flan-no and a pair-o’ thongs,
Come-on, come-on, come-on,
I don’t mind the yobbo life,
Upper class is so uncool,
Frank Sinatra really sucks
Use to play his songs.
Now I like Acca Dacca,
And hang out at pubs,
Now live in a rundown house,
And drive-a Kingswood Ute. Wearin my
Sing-let and-brown stubby shorts,
Flan-no and a pair-o’ thongs,
Come-on, come-on, come-on,
Laying on the grass with a singlet tan, oh yeah!
Hang at the footy with my pub mates, oh yeah!
I’m at the T-A-B blowin all my cash,
Watchin’ the horses, Watchin’ the cricket,
Watchin’ the footy and drinkin down-a slab-o’ VB,
Slab-o’ VB, yeah!
Well anytime you wanna find me,
I’m down at-the local pub
Drinkin’ with my bogan mates,
There I’ll always feel at home, wearin my
Sing-let and-brown stubby shorts,
Flan-no and a pair-o’ thongs,
Come-on, come-on, come-on,
come-on, come-on,
Sing-let and-brown stubby shorts,
Flan-no and a pair-o’ thongs,
Come-on, come-on, come-on,
come-on, come-on,
Sing-let and-brown stubby shorts,
Flan-no and a pair-o’ thongs,
Come-on, come-on, come-on,
I left there wearin my, my my,
Sing-let and-brown stubby shorts,
Flan-no and a pair-o’ thongs,
Come-on,
I drove a red Rolls Royce,
But mate that was years ago;
I left it all behind,
I was high class, wore penguin suits,
I had a bunch of snobby friends,
Mate that was years ago.
I left it all behind, wearin my
Sing-let and-brown stubby shorts,
Flan-no and a pair-o’ thongs,
Come-on, come-on, come-on,
I don’t mind the yobbo life,
Upper class is so uncool,
Frank Sinatra really sucks
Use to play his songs.
Now I like Acca Dacca,
And hang out at pubs,
Now live in a rundown house,
And drive-a Kingswood Ute. Wearin my
Sing-let and-brown stubby shorts,

Come-on, come-on, come-on,
Laying on the grass with a singlet tan, oh yeah!
Hang at the footy with my pub mates, oh yeah!
I’m at the T-A-B blowin all my cash,
Watchin’ the horses, Watchin’ the cricket,

Flan-no and a pair-o’ thongs,
Come-on, come-on, come-on,
come-on, come-on,
Sing-let and-brown stubby shorts,
Flan-no and a pair-o’ thongs,
Come-on, come-on, come-on,
I left there wearin my, my my,
Sing-let and-brown stubby shorts,

I gave you a 5 for overall, as it takes the OS and parallels it in true parody style, but the pacing was still pretty bad. 4 for humor. Ooops - make that humour. :-)
Sir, thanks for the effort & all the Austrailian terms! I learned something about the DownUdder culture! But I deplore seeing bare, dirty feet ! and those Toe Rings . . . yuck! It's so unManly! Cowboy Dave said a man needs to be prepared to "kick butt " when necessary! I pray there won't be any rubber thongs & ricePaddy pants at the Rodeo this weekend . . .
