The Vicks

The vicks
Johnson is me poor old name,
Brisbane town is where I’m staying,
Had 100 jobs I’m saying,
A some times Diversional Therapist.
(entertain the old n decrepid)

Tried burying for half a week,
Wouldn’t let me smile, or squeak,
Drove a council bus,
 punched out a few,
Who’d fight, no fuss.

Bouncer in the Valley,
Loved the chicks,
Woke up in strange beds with hicks
Accidently used the vicks,
Talk about the ring of fire?
