john williamson - i'm fair dinkum lyrics

chorus
i’m fair d-nk-m, bl–dy oath i am
i’ve loved the smell of gum leaves, since i was in a pram
some places may be greener, but i don’t give a d-mn
’cause i’m fair d-nk-m, bl–dy oath i am.
now i was in the doctor’s just the other day
he told me take an aspirin, the pain would go away
so i pulled out my chequebook, ’cause sickness doesn’t pay
i said, “are you fair d-nk-m?” – what did the doctor say?

he said, “ah so . . .” (repeat chorus with chinese accent)
i said, “well can you recommend a nice little chinese restaurant?”

then i whistled down a taxi cab and headed for the east
a bad case of the munchies, i was ready for a feast
the driver said “indian?” – i said, “oh well, i’d rather not”
he said, “why don’t you come around to my place,
my curry’s rather hot”.

i said, “are you fair d-nk-m?”
he said, “oh . . .” (repeat chorus with indian accent)

well, i tipped the nice cabbie so he wouldn’t make a fuss
i shot out like a bullet and i grabbed a bondi bus
i said, “take me to the waves mate, i’m dyin’ for a dip”
he said “now you be very careful and watch you don’t slip.

“oh, are you fair d-nk-m?”
he said, “ah by gum . . .” (repeat chorus with pommy accent)

well everybody’s claiming australia as their own
i’m no aborigine, so i won’t point the bone
it shows good taste mate, so i shouldn’t moan
if you got a problem, get al gr-ssby on the phone.

bridge
yeah, we’re fair d-nk-m, bl–dy oath we are
we all love koalas and singin’ round the bar
and con somebody’s missus to drive the flamin’ car
yeah, we’re fair d-nk-m, bl–dy oath we are.

now give me a home where life is what you make
where i can walk about, just for walking’s sake
where i can tell our leaders to go jump in the lake
but i’ll never knock australia, you make no mistake.

(repeat chorus to tune of bridge)
(repeat chorus)
