CDXLIX - The Good Life

It’s Australia Day.  Time for a parody.

The Good Life

(To the tune of “Botany Bay”)

Throw chops on the barbie this evening,

Crack open a stubby of beer,

Some sauce will do as a salad,

And the neighbours will quickly appear.

Chorus

Singing white bread, fried onions and sausages

Singing white bread, fried onions and chops

Singing white bread, fried onions and sausages

Ah, the good life, it just never stops.

There’s the missus, as is our companion,

There’s the dog and a moggie or two,

There’s the kids from over the neighbourhood

Who appear at a good barbeque.

Chorus

‘Taint eating a tossed salad we cares about,

‘Taint one of our diet’ry habits,

‘Cause green’s not really a food colour

For anything other than rabbits.

Chorus

Now all you young wankers and wowsers,

Who dine on the cuisine nouveau,

Who whine that a barbies too common,

Well, youse know where you can all go.

Chorus.
