An old Aussie landmark pub rock anthem - these guys were way ahead of their time - Skyhooks Lyrics
Why Don't You All Get ****ed. (G.Macainsh)
I used to know this kid in sixth grade
The teachers called him dumb
He'd try real hard did his homework everyday
But still they'd whip him on the ****
One day he went to the playground
With a spraycan under his coat
Stood upon a trashcan and this is what he wrote...
Why dontcha all
Why dontcha all
Why dontcha all get ****ed
Why dontcha all
Why dontcha all
Why dontcha all get ****ed
A girl sixteen was trying to grow up
But her parents kept her down
She'd behave herself and come home at twelve
Her daddy would just sneer and frown
So one afternoon she packed her bags
With her boyfriend she drove away
A thousand miles later miles late she picked up the phone
And this is what she had to say...
Hey mum an dad!
Why dontcha all
Why dontcha all
Why dontcha all get ****ed
Why dontcha all
Why dontcha all
Why dontcha all get ****ed
A private in the army
A sensitive chap
Who didn't want to be there at all
And a sergeant who hated this young guys guts
Used to make him scrub the floor
They were out on manoeuvres on a lousy day
The enemy had to be scouted
The private got his hands on an M-16
As he shot up the place he shouted...
Why dontcha all
Why dontcha all
Why dontcha all get ****ed
You shoulda seen the smile on that soldiers face
When he saw how fast the sergeant ducked
So if you're in trouble right up to your brain
And the boss is gettin' to you
Parents and politics, money and marriage
And life in general is making you spew
There's one thing that you gotta do
And I suggest you do it today
Stand up in your office, school or your street
And this is what you gotta say...
Why don't you and you and you and you
And your rotten friends too
Why don't you and him and not forgettin' you
Why dontcha all get ****ed!!

I must admit, I was wondering that as well, maybe Eric is showing he has a bigger record collection than Halo:D |

I can see that course in Subtlety is paying dividends.

Jan, I started this thread in protest at another thread closure (Is This How All Users Are Treated)
And seeing as PPL started with the "why don't you all ....." line, I felt it fitting that the whole song be given.
Remp, nah, you don't want to hear me sing.
Al, maybe my record collection and recollections make more sense.
Then again, maybe not too.
Rodd, no need to be concerned, I am not invected - it's just my warped sense of humour.
Brett, yeah, how to be as subtle as a brick lessons.
How is your sarcasm and dry wit Doctorate coming on ?. ;)

You guys missed my very humerous pun
Pub anthems, sing a few bars
Pubs.....bars
Oh well.
Waltzing Matilda.
A very popular Australian folk song
Set to the music Waltzing Matilda.
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billa bong under the shade of a coolah bar tree. And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled. Youl come a Waltzing Matilda with me.
Chorus
Waltzing Matilda
Waltzing Matilda
Youl come a waltzing Matilda with me.
Up came the squater mounted on his thorougha bred
Up came the troopers one two three.
Where's the jolly jumbuck youv got in your tucker bag
Youl come a waltzing matilda with me
Chorus
Up jumped the swagman, lept into the billabong
Youl never take me alive said he
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by the billa bong
Youl come a waltzing matilda with me
In the early days Australia was a penal colony populated by criminals evicted from the UK for minor misteads. Many heroes emerged in Australian folk lore. The swagman depicted here is accused of stealing a jumbuck probably to eat.
All together now.
Waltzing Matilda... Waltzing Matilda... Thats it, louder
Youl come a Waltzing Matilda with me.
If only Jason would install an auto midi player we could have that catchy tune playing all the time. Wouldn't that be nice. |

Well, slightly better than them winning the Ashes again!;)
BTW, have you heard the Tom Waits version? Brilliant. |

Indeed it is. One fine piece of vinyl (you can say that about most of Tom's stuff thou).

It isn't closed now. It was closed because of some member requests. Jason opened it up when he posted his apology.
