Lyrics
(Verse 1)
The cicadas are screaming in the lemon tree
It’s ninety degrees and it’s only half-past three
Got the sprinkler going on the yellow grass
Watching the clouds and the summer pass
The chilly bin is serving up the cold relief
And the neighbour’s shouting out his belief
That the ref was blind and the game was rigged
While the hole for the Hāngī is getting digged.
(Chorus)
Yeah, nah, she’s good, mate, don’t you worry
There’s no need to be in a hurry
We got the pavlova and the cream on top
And the classic tunes that never stop
From the dusty road to the city street
We march to the sound of a barefoot beat
In the land of the fern and the long white cloud
Yeah, we sing it quiet but we live it loud.
(Verse 2)
Pack the wagon, we’re heading to the coast
To the little bach that we love the most
Where the sand is black and the waves are high
And the Southern Cross is painting the sky
Grab a mince and cheese from the gas station store
And a Wattie’s sauce, couldn't ask for more
If the car breaks down, well, we’ll fix it there
With a piece of wire and a bit of prayer.
(Chorus)
Yeah, nah, she’s good, mate, don’t you worry
There’s no need to be in a hurry
We got the pavlova and the cream on top
And the classic tunes that never stop
From the dusty road to the city street
We march to the sound of a barefoot beat
In the land of the fern and the long white cloud
Yeah, we sing it quiet but we live it loud.
(Bridge)
It’s the "Kia Ora" and the nod of the head
It’s the simple things that are left unsaid
It’s the rugged bush and the rolling green
And the finest people you’ve ever seen.
(Guitar Solo - Fun and rhythmic strumming)
(Outro)
Chuck another snag on the barbie, Dave.
Sweet as.
Yeah, nah... yeah.
She's right.
(Fade out with laughter and the sound of a can opening)
