Tonart: C major
Verse 1
C
Have you heard the beat
of Brophy's drum?
Have you heeded Brophy's call
when Fred's lads pitch
the boxing tent
and take on one and all?
Have you cheered the local challengers
and joined the crushing throng?
See you'll last the distance
F
C
F
as Mandingo rings the gong.
G
C
There's a string of bare bulbs
hanging between two splintered poles.
The ring's a tarp laid on the dirt,
Dm
G
the tent is full of holes
C
F
Not a soul's complaining
C
and there's one almighty din
Am
C
When Brophy blows a whistle and cries,
C

The first of the contenders
donned the gloves

and took his guard
White lightning came out swinging
Dm
and the loc al took it hard
G
F
Although he was a trier,
C
Am
he was lacking in technique
C
And was finished with a right
G
that knocked him clear in
C
F
two next week
G
C
Then in fairly quick succession,
F
C
three more locals took the dive
Till a solid bloke called Rory
G
Dm
G
brought the seething crowd alive
G
Am
with a repertoire de verse

when Rory took the purse

He was ninety miles from Soba,
Dm
and had nu merous tattoos
G
F

C
Am
but he lost the plot from there
C
And he finished bruised and bloodied,
G
C
F
looking somewhat worse for wear
G
C
The undisputed wooden spooner,
F

the tamest of all foes
Was the scrawny bloke from Melbourne

with the long protruding nose

Leaving bruised and battered locals
