Skyhooks - Kooyong Dollar lyrics

Macainsh I rent a flat in Highett, I eat at Hungry Jacks I was born in the Fifties, on the wrong side of the tracks I was married but she left me for a plumber from Prahran Now I see my kids on weekends, I'm a halfway happy man. But when I get my hands on a Kooyong Dollar I'm gonna be a hard act to follow I'm gonna rip of this dirty blue collar When I get my hands on a Kooyong dollar, Kooyong dollar, Kooyong dollar. Well, I'm from the south of South Road, the great artistic void But I know a great Brett Whitely, Drysdale or Boyd I love a cla**ic landscape, I know a good red wine And lately I've been thinkin that the good life should be mine. But when I get my hands on a Kooyong Dollar I'm gonna be a hard act to follow That cheap champagne will be real hard to swallow When I get my hands on a Kooyong dollar, Kooyong dollar, Kooyong dollar. (Ooh, that blue ribbon luck) just grows and grows (Like honey old money) flows and flows and it flows and flows. But when I get my hands on a Kooyong Dollar I'm gonna be a hard act to follow I'm gonna rip of this dirty blue collar When I get my hands on a Kooyong dollar. I've tried so hard to shake it and lose that convict streak I'm an A grade mechanic, I get 450 clear a week Now my Ford dropped a tail shaft on Scotch College Hill But I know it won't be too long till I get my fingers in the till. (Ooh, that blue ribbon luck) just grows and grows (Like honey old money) flows and flows and it flows and flows. When I get my hands on a Kooyong Dollar I'm gonna be a hard act to follow That cheap champagne will be real hard to swallow When I get my hands on a .. When I get my hands on a Kooyong Dollar I'm gonna be a hard act to follow That cheap champagne will be real hard to swallow When I get my hands on a Kooyong dollar, Kooyong dollar, Kooyong dollar.
