Ozzie Rover

I am the Ozzie rover
I've roamed this wide world over
I've been to Perth
I've crossed this earth
From Melbourne up to Dover
Believe me, mate
I've been there--
From Melbourne up to Dover

I went to Indonesia
And there I caught amnesia
They cut it out
And a pint of stout
Was my only anesthesia
The doctor prescribed me
My favorite anesthesia

When I was in Siberia
The lager was inferior
The snot it froze
Inside me nose
When I ventured in the interior
Bit nippy--bit chilly
When I ventured in the interior

When I was in Hungaria
There was no food in the area
The only meat
I had to eat
Was the rump of wire-haired terrier
What's under the gravy?
The rump of a wire-haired terrier

I went on a safari
Nairobi to Harare
A lion ate
Me very best mate
It made me very sorry
The bloke owed me money
You bet that I was sorry

Come Sunday
(Music: Yo Kano)

Come Sunday, I will walk
A city harbor block
Where the river runs
And the seagulls flock
And there I'll hide behind the tide
For just one day
Come Sunday

Come Sunday so forlorn
The silence in my mind is torn
By the honking of a single horn
For a moment or two
On the avenue
That runs one way
Come Sunday

   I've been scorned, I've been abused
   But most of all my heart's been used
   To hold up someone else's pride
   Then crumpled up and tossed aside
   Should I ask for pity?
   One small sorrow in the city

Come Sunday I will run
Into the arms of anyone
Who will take me
When the day is done
She'll be my best and time will rest
Until Monday
Come Sunday
