[The Rumjacks - Pinchgut lyrics]

If I buy you a drink will you leave me alone?
I'm a bug eyed young stranger 'round here
I'll tell ye nowt ye don't already know
And my brogues too thick for your ear
See I landed this mornin' unwashed and unfed
Yer man thought I were Greek
Wouldn't give me a bed
And I've walked all o' Sydney wi'
A heart of pure lead
And a half a warm bottle of beer
Tho my room lay as quiet as
The old guns o' Pinchgut
My heart beats a lonesome & steady tattoo
For a smile that I met
On the boat frae Southampton
Oh Christ! What am I gonnae do?
D'ye know I'm a full qualified engineer?
Tho the paper I've got's no good to me here
We built the damned ships that
Brought you all here
All we're good for is digging a hole!

Oh your frosty old evening
Commands me respect
And your sun locks it's jaws on
The back of me neck
As I pocket me pride & line up for a cheque
Oh Christ! What am I gonnae do?
Oh Christ! what am I gonnae do?
If you buy me a drink, I'll leave you alone
I've talked your damned ears off
It's time you were home
Spare me the floorboards, I'll dig you a hole
Big enough to swallow the moon
