Tony M' Mate - John Williamson

He’s got the world at his feet

But can’t find his shoes

A poet when sober

But bad on the booze

A real hard case

But easy to bruise

Tony M' Mate

Well, He knows how to work

If you give him a job

He’s never been guilty

Of being a slob

No, He works his ring off

To make a few bob

Tony M' Mate

Well, He still loves Elvis

He drives a ute

He finds it real easy

To get a Roo.

..

Sometimes he’s a mongrel

Sometimes he’s beaut

Tony M' Mate

Well, He’d be a legend

If he didn’t blow it

So much to show

But can’t seem to show it

But give him a seed

He knows how to grow it

Tony M' Mate
