Jim Dixon Lyr Req: Oh Schucks ... It's Schuster (2) Lyr Req: Oh Schucks ... It's Schuster 03 Sep 18


Someone on another forum asked for the words to “OH SCHUCKS (sic) ... IT'S SCHUSTER!”--the theme song from the 1989 South African comedy film starring (and written by, and directed by) Leon Schuster.

Video on YouTube here (only the opening credits containing the song).

(For the curious: Description of the film from IMDb here. Description from Wikipedia here. Bio of Leon Schuster here.)

I’ve made a stab at it a transcription, but I could use some help. I have a hunch it would be easier for someone familiar with South African accents and expressions—which I am not.

OH SCHUCKS ... IT'S SCHUSTER!
Words by Kalla Bremer, music by Don Clarke [information from IMDb]

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, shucks! (3x)
It’s Schuster!

CHORUS: He’s a darling, a devil, a wag and a wit/
A jester, a joker, a double-crossing twit/
... says come here, chicky, you cocky little rooster
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, shucks!
It’s schuster!

Deceiver, misleader, ready with a rag(?)
A bragster(?), a prankster, game for a gag
.... booster
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, shucks!
It’s Schuster!

The rugby protestors say “we don’t want----”
The ... collectors, they give not a ....
... ugler ... way back when
But who’s that new fly-hop(?), that new number ten?
