Longyard On A Saturday Night

(Warner/Chappel Music Australia)

First released on the album Australian Music

Well I came into town on a long weekend
To have a little laugh and a sing with my friends
They said the party was in the Goonoo Goonoo room
I walked around and round the pub, I never found that room

Yeah, front bar Longyard Saturday night
Four in the morning no end in sight
Everybody buyin' everybody else beer
How'm I ever gonna find my way home from here?

June Mary watchin' over us all
Singin' Old Triangle and Factory Wall
There was Willo singin' Belafonte songs
And every old drunkard yellin' along

Yeah, front bar Longyard Saturday night
Four in the morning no end in sight
Everybody buyin' everybody else beer
How'm I ever gonna find my way home from here?

Well I came into town for a quiet little drink
Little did I realise little did I think
Now if I ever go down to that pub again
I'm gonna try to make it home before next weekend

Yeah front bar Longyard Saturday night
Four in the morning no end in sight
Everybody buyin' everybody else beer
Somebody swingin' from the chandelier
