            Do you remember

    the good old days?

    I loved everybody

    And I could say what I wanted.

    Back in the good old days.

 

My phone lived at home in a nook

with a note pad and a phone book.

And I never ever said: Where is my phone?

And when our phone rang, I picked it up.

 

Saturday arvo me and my mates

watched our footy team.

And we loved our man mountain

who knew when to go the biff.

 

At school we laughed at our nutcase.

And we loved him

and protected him.

He’s our fruit case. Not yours.

 

Our teachers threw chalk

and their strap had a name

and they said this is going

to hurt me more than you.

 

A maverick with a crazy idea

could start a business.

Rent an office, borrow money from Mum

hire a truck and just do it.
