Boys’ll all be down there.
Lining up to go,
done the prestart,
rehashed the play,
footy, races come what may.

Cadel Evans out in front,
toast me back and make a start.
Make it happen, make it pay.
On and on a long wet day

Stoked the bucket,
cracked a can.
Freezin’ day,
best we can.

Mud and slush across the yard.
Shut ‘er down,
head on home.
