Island Blues Shoot out those goats Get rid of the pigs If you need a bed don’t see Wolf and Twiggs All the feeding spots belong to old Bill Shead He was going alright till he fell on his head And I’m just sitting here in my boatshed So it’s wine and thong upon a palm tree We might as well get stuck into the booze Forget about our little spot It seems that someone’s lost the ruddy plot That’s why I sing these lord howe island blues Another car another motorbike Cut down the pines Stay up all night All the fishing spots have been closed down If you catch a rat you’re out of town And I’m just catching garfish on the jetty Belt that wine and thong upon a palm tree We might as well get stuck into the booze Forget about your little spot It seems someone’s lost the Bally plot That’s why I sing these lord howe island blues Put your helmet on Take off that old sheath knife Watch your special lease with all your might Cause the board will come and put up the rent And tell you to pull out your septic tank And I’m just walking over to boat harbour Rattle that wine and thong upon a palm tree We might as well get stuck into the booze Forget about your little spot It seems someone’s lost the bloody plot That’s why I sing these lord howe island blues Well there’s a fee for this and a fee for that Don’t even think of owning a pussy cat Get another dog why not an alligator Watch the freight go up on the Island Trader And I’m just cooking up on the bar b Thump that wine and thong upon a palm tree We might as well get stuck into the booze Forget about your little spot It seems someone’s lost the bloody plot That’s why I sing these lord howe island blues Find that old loophole That’ll let you in If you aren’t insured you sure can’t swim You’ll wrestle in the Bowlo when your full of beer They’ll tell you to fuck off for a year And I’m just going down to watch the sunset Well hit that wine and thong upon the palm tree We might as well get stuck into the booze Seems too late to stop the rot It seems that someone sold the effin plot That’s why I sing these lord howe island blues So even if you live in paradise There’s always something that isn’t nice Plenty of gossip plenty of news that’s why it’s called the lord Howe blues And I’m just going home to watch my starlink Throw that wine and bong under a palm tree Can’t take no more wild women or the booze hallelujah Gunna join right up to the 7 D A’s To spend my life in a religious haze That’s why I sing these lord howe island blues Singing the lord howe blues
