Leon Byner Has Left the Building

Leon Byner has left the building 
After 23 years of people bargaining
He was the people’s voice to be heard
And on most things he was undeterred 

I remember him spinning discs in the 60s and 70s
As a radio disc jockey so cool you see
Before shifting to talkback radio at 5AA
Where he would take on the issues for SA

So like everyone he has reached his 
final show
And today 1/12/22 it was his time to go
There will be people now taking a sigh
As South Australians we wish him well and goodbye.
