lyrics

we finish at four, no less or no more
since the union got its way
and i'm fresh off the site, the day is still light
and my tea time's not till 8
i took care of the kids on sunday when shell had the ladies round
so what's a couple hours on the horses or the hounds

and down at the Oaks, it's just gone happy hour
i'm up on my luck and the liquor is cheap
stay for a minute or two and soon you'll be drinking for free
down at the TAB

i got on the soup, went in on the super
and came out bottom dog
but danny and roo said they'd spot my next two
so i got back on the job
i threw a tenner on the trotters
cause the puppies for the day were done
and put the proceeds on the bar
'til the proceeds, there were none

now it's getting tough to see past my table
but i bought a jug for dingo and pete
yeah, pull up a pew cause the gods are smiling on me
down at the TAB

now's not the time to break concentration
but i've got a feeling they want me to leave
so open the door and take your fuckin hands off me

i walked outside to get a mouthful of air
and i'd be damned if i didn't see her standing there
patent leather and boa feathers, together in a holy sight
and sonia heather looking better than she did that ancient night
"i heard your miss is missing, four nights out a week
i'm only being courteous when i tell you that i'm free
so why not put your dollar down on me?"
