Just see there's no one near,
And go and wink the other eye And ask for ginger beer. The blokes come in from near and far To sample Hogan's pop; They reckon once they breast the bar They stay there till they drop. On Sundays you can see them spread Like flies around the tap. It's like that song "The Livin' Dead" Up there at Hogan's Gap. They like to make it pretty strong Whenever there's a charnce; So when a stranger comes along They always holds a darnce. There's recitations, songs, and fights -- A willin' lot you'll meet. There's one long bloke up there recites, I tell you -- he's a treat. They're lively blokes all right up there, It's never dull a day. I'd go meself if I could spare The time to get away. . . . . . |
