eric bogle – the great aussie take-away lyrics

the great aussie take+away lyrics
i’m an ordinary aussie bloke; cultured, clean and neat
i do not drink or swear or smoke, but boy! i like to eat
keep your poofy parlour food, your greek and lebanese
turkish and italian, french and j+panese
what makes me mouth water isn’t any one of these
no, i like take+away

hamburgers and steak sangers, dim sims and sausage rolls
saveloys, meat pies, hot dogs and beef rissoles
for value and vitamins they sure beat all the rest
a take+away every day, puts hairs upon your chest
but just what’s in the bl++dy things is anybody’s guеss
but i still like take+away

i bought myself a piе, the other night, down at my local café
i was just about to take a bite, when the pie – it screamed out “neigh!”
and right before me eyes, the bl++dy thing rears up
shoots out through the front door like a runaway truck
the last thing i heard, it had won the melbourne cup
but i still like take+aways

i bought meself some saveloys, though, to tell yous all the truth
i wish i’d worn me corduroys, when one of them went “woof!”
it jumped right off the table, around the room did run
i thought i’d seen it all mate, but the best was yet to come
for it c+cked itself against me leg and bit me in the bum
but i still like take+away
hamburgers and steak sangers, dim sims and sausage rolls
saveloys, meat pies, hot dogs and beef rissoles
for value and vitamins they sure beat all the rest
a take+away every day, puts hairs upon your chest
but just what’s in the bl++dy things is anybody’s guess
but i still like take+away

i bought a hamburger with egg and chips, i had to get a bite somehow
as i began to l!ck me lips, me burger screamed out “miaow!”
it scratched me on the nose, i threw it to the ground
it ran up a gum tree, i felt such a silly clown
but the fire brigade came and got the silly burger down
but i still like take+aways

i ordered up my favourite treat, steak sangwich on a plate
before i could begin to eat, my sangwich screamed out “wait!”
i’m a buffalo, or brumby, cat, or dog or grizzly bear
i’m true blue aussie kangaroo, cooked medium rare
but it gave me a salute and sang “advance australia fair”
but i still like take+aways
