G'Day Blue Lyrics

[00:05.37] Now Blue is known around the town as a real decent bloke,
[00:10.38] He could take it on the chin when the chips are down
[00:12.33] And he could always take a joke,
[00:14.33] You can pick him for miles by his friendly smiles,
[00:17.38] He always gave a few,
[00:19.36] With the colour of his hair he had names to spare
[00:22.32] But we all called him Blue.
[00:24.27] Ah G'day Blue, how they treatin' you, come an' have yourself a beer,
[00:28.52] We all feel better when you're around so drag yourself up here,
[00:33.56] You're never on the bite and you're never a skite,
[00:36.40] You're as dinkum as can be,
[00:38.48] You're a good mate Blue, and I'm tellin' you, you can have this one on me.
[00:43.43] When I stand around and listen to the things that people say,
[00:52.46] I reckon if there were more like Blue, we'd be better off today,
[00:57.46] When the boots go in Blue will give the grin an' give it to you straight,
[01:02.41] He sees only good like all of us should and he'll stand up for a mate.
[01:06.49] We all say "G'day Blue, how they treatin' you, come an' have yourself a beer,
[01:11.53] We all feel better when you're around so drag yourself up here,
[01:16.43] You're never on the bite and you're never a skite,
[01:19.47] You're as dinkum as can be,
[01:21.42] You're a good mate Blue, and I'm tellin' you, you can have this one on me."
[01:25.53] Now Blue's not ashamed to let you see the gentle side of man,
[01:35.64] He'll offer his seat to the fairer sex anytime he can,
[01:40.63] For he'll never stare an' he doesn't swear when a lady's walkin' by,
[01:44.69] These things we mention ove' again an' hold our heads up high.
[01:49.69] Ah G'day Blue, how they treatin' you, come an' have yourself a beer,
[01:53.69] We all feel better when you're around so drag yourself up here,
[01:58.66] You're never on the bite and you're never a skite,
[02:01.76] You're as dinkum as can be,
[02:03.73] You're a good mate Blue, and I'm tellin' you, you can have this one on me.
[02:08.75] Australia need more men like Blue to lift us up once more,
[02:17.74] An' our comradeship an' will to win has crumbled on the floor,
[02:22.72] Our 'Fair Go, mate' s gone out the gate, we no longer seem to care,
[02:26.78] Should the likes of Blue ever meet with you I reckon you will declare.
[02:31.88] And you'll say "G'day Blue, how they treatin' you, come an' have yourself a beer,
[02:36.90] We all feel better when you're around so drag yourself up here,
[02:40.94] You're never on the bite and you're never a skite,
[02:44.00] You're as dinkum as can be,
[02:46.07] You're a good mate Blue, and I'm tellin' you, you can have this one on me;
[02:51.06] Ah, You're a good mate Blue, and I'm tellin' you, you can have this one on me."
[03:04.17]
