Skyhooks - Kooyong Dollar Lyrics




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

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

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 classic landscape
I know a good red wine
And lately I've been thinkin'
That the good life should be mine

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

Oh 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
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 and

Oh 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 Kooyong dollar
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
