Cobber From the Bush

Cobber from the bush. We had the Rockers an the Surfies Crazy wild buggers true, I was walking down the street , An they said “what are you ?” I said “I’m a Bushie, don’t be pushy Or you’ll smell the gum leaves too,” So I went a riding Nortons, And the Trumpys, just a few. (Triumph motorbike) Would ya persecute an rob me, Said shelia,giving me a push, I’d hold ya down an scruff ya , Said me Cobber from the bush. Would ya live off sin of harlots, Would ya think it bloody good, Would ya skim a quid to start with, “my flaming oath I would “. Beatle long hair was a flowing, And we’d catch em one or two, Short back n side, just one side, Sometimes fisticuffs, a blue. Don Johnson 1960s when I came away from the bush in Australia to the big smoke. craig cornish Contest Name Talk That Way
