TRUE BLUE

Hey True Blue, don't say you're gone
Say you knocked off for a smoko
And you'll be back later on
Hey True Blue, Hey True Blue

Give it to me straight, face to face
Are you really disappearing?
Another dying race?
Hey True Blue, hey True Blue

CHORUS
Hey True Blue, is it me and you?
Is it Mum and Dad, is it a cockatoo?
Is it standing by your mate, when he's in a fight?
Or just Vegemite?
Hey True Blue

Hey True Blue, is your heart still there?
If they slice us up like sponge cake
Will you really care?
Hey True Blue, hey True Blue

Now be fair dinkum, can you share the load?
Will you tie it up with wire
Just to keep the show on the road?
Hey True Blue, Hey True Blue

You old Bastard!

CHORUS

I used to sing this a lot when my band was out west, because it was very popular. I suspect it is just a bit jingoistic for most tastes.

Regards
Chris
