Wallaroo

My parents-in-law (and my wife) were born and bred in the South Australian district of Wallaroo. All the people and circumstances in this song are, to the embarrassment of my mother-in-law, very true. Comin’ back to haunt ya. Ha!

Lyrics - Wallaroo

written by Anthony Classen

Yvonne and Geoff, Chitty and Sam
Are back to raise some hell
In the Zephyr Mark Two with the blue top
That John called Annabelle

It’s Sunday night, they’re on the beach
The weekly meeting spot
The beers were flowing
While John and Ann were getting hot

Down at Wallaroo
Yea Wallaroo
Dancing down on the beach
At Wallaroo

With a case of tallies on the tray back
Where the boys would sit all night
Jim would get drunk and start mouthing off
There’s sure to be a fight

The girls would head off
To the Island café
Newspaper wrapped fish and chips
And John said if Annabelles rocking
We’ll be rocking all night
