A song for Jimmy Buffett by the aussies....

Post by creeky »

well by me anyway - I did it while on the train when it was dark ... had a few hours to kill before arriving in Denver!

It's not good ... but it is a plea! COME TO AUSTRALIA!!!!!

Done to the tune of Southern Cross (as that is on our national flag).

There are many many of your fans on the southern island
who have been waiting for your for many many a year
You have promised many times you were coming
to make the aussies, very happy

On this big island, way down under
you've got many of your fans makin lots of noise
in the bars down under, we do party
but with all the broken promises, wonder why you run away

Think about, think about how many times you have promised
to visit down under, all those voices calling
what hasnt bought you out here? cause we have not forgotten ....
I have been around the world,
spending money to come see you
I can afford it no more
and I know its true, and I know its true

When you see the Southern Cross for the next time
You will understand then why you came this way
cause the fans you have been running from are so fun
cause they are as big as those, as those in the USA

So we have our phlockings while our dreams are a'dying
but the fans keep playing, keep playing and having faith
We have our club and all the fans are a'singing
that is all we have, and parrotheads is our name

So we have tried, we have begged and we have pleaded
and we never fail to fail, its just the easiest thing to do
you will keep saying that you are touring
and we will keep on hoping, not forgetting and believing you

at the Southern Cross...

What is said and what happens can be two different things. ..

I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it. I'm already trying to make plans to get back to Oz.

(I did find out there's an Aussie over here selling authentic meat pies, so that excited me!)

I know we Americans eat some weird stuff, but just hearing meat pies just kind of make my stomach go "urk!". However, I have heard from an Aussie friend that they are better then Vegmite.

I know I'd miss the States if I were away for awhile, so I found this Aussie Homesick Pack on line, maybe something to order during your travels.

The operation started in Toledo, Ohio, but now they are selling frozen pies to grocery stores across the country. It's called Crikey's Original Australian Pies: www.crikeyspies.com
