Busdriver's Song
G'day, my name is Tony On behalf of myself and the coachline I'd like to thank you for choosing to drive with us today I'm a local, I hope I can impart some of my local knowledge If you got any questions don't hesitate just to sing out For those who are interested there's the Old Bridge swaying away Replaced by the New Bridge in 1972 Funny thing, the Old Bridge used to be called the New Bridge Yeah, bit of a funny thing
Up ahead there's the bronze of Bluey, your local sheepdog Who became a member of Regional Council It was a bloody great day for dogs Not just here but everywhere in the North Island That's the town's oldest street That's the Museum of Meat There's the town's largest industry That's the sock factory, hence the giant sock
The town hall Note the mosaic wall Well there are 5600 tiles on that wall, I know, I counted them all A local school, a local swimming pool Which was opened by the Governor General back in 1952 Where I was caught with a friend aged 11 Sniffing tractor fuel We thought we were pretty cool, Breaking them changing shed rules
Do you see up there? The banner hanging in the air The Presbyterian Fair Well, I never go There's too many presbyterians there But if you're interested The fair's in the third weekend of August every year But don't bother entering their raffle, It's always won by some kid of the Mayor
Well, do you hear that sound? The town clock, heard from anywhere in town Until 1960, it was a little place in Norway We bought it for a hundred pounds Rumor has it they sold it cheap because the chimes were too loud But every time I hear that sound it makes me so proud
Look to your left What a beautiful sight It's Paula, Paula Thompson, nee Paula Wright Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Look at her hair, it's still gorgeous even now Flowing like the Waimahanga River, Which incidentally, is to your right And is the largest in the area In terms of volume Everybody, look at Paula, look at Paula Thompson I always thought I'd marry Paula, But some things just don't work out that way Well, that's the most important thing you'll learn on the tour today That and the fact there'll be a toilet break At the information centre near the man-made lake
Yeah I'll just ask you one favor If you do see Paula in town later on That you don't mention the details of the tour I'd appreciate that Same goes for my wife, Gloria You'll recognize her, she looks a hell of a lot like Paula, actually She often gets mistaken for Paula But, um, no, well, she's not Paula, that's for sure No, no
Paula Thompson born in '54 To a family of four To the family next door Take me back next door Paula Thompson nee Paula Wright That's her old house number 39 Number 41 was mine If this old coach could go back in time I'd drive to 1979 Take me back
Take me back, take me back Take, take, take, take me back Take me back, take me back Take, take, take, take me back Take me back Take me back Take me back Take me back Take me back Take me back
Yeah, sorry about that I always get a little bit emotional on the corner of Rutherford and Brown Street But that is truly the end of the tour so mind your step Yeah, good on ya
