I agree with the water but juliamoon is mad if she thinks we will want snow!



Tring in the South of England (somewhere) was -1 last night, so probably colder than Scotland.

Woke up this morning in Kent to a ground frost. The days are cold and most people I know are still having to put their heating on. We need some better weather to lift the doom and gloom

In the Tv persona of Fred Dagg, John Clarke showed us all what the Real Kiwi Bloke really was. This song doesn't have much of a tune to it, and since it is generally sung when everybody is drunk, the tune doesn't really matter. The attitude and accent are more important. The Kiwis at the bar will all know the chorus line!



'I was speaking to a mate of mine just the other day

A guy called Bruce Bayliss actually who lives up our way

He's been living in Europe for the year, more or less

I said "How was Europe, Bruce?"

He says "Fred, it's a mess"



Chorus: We don't-know how-lucky we are mate

We don't-know how-lucky we are!



Me stock agent's got a beach place where he spends most of his days

His wife bit the dust down there last year, got ate by a couple of crays

And his two littlest daughters got killed by a whale

I said "Are you goin' down there this year, mate?"

He says "Fred, right on the nail"

Cont'd:



Chorus: '"We don't know how fortunate we are to have that place

We don't know how propitious are the circumstances, Frederick"



So if things are looking really bad and you're thinking of givin' it away

Remember New Zealin's a cracker place and I reckon that come what may

If things get appallingly bad and we all get atrociously poor

If we stand in the queue with our hats out, one can borrow a few million more!

And another ditty from 'Fred Dagg'! - with profound apologies - but still good advice for Cy44 UK dwellers !



'(Intro, spoken, with gusto.)

'Right-ho, kick it in the guts, Trev... '



C G F C

Gumboots, they are wonderful, gumboots, they are swell

F C Dm G7

'coz they keep out the water, and they keep in the smell.

C F C

And when you're sittin' round at home, you can always tell

F C G C

When one of the Trevs has taken off his gumboots.



Chorus: If it weren't for your gumboots, where would ya be?

You'd be in the hospital or infirmary

'coz you would have a dose of the 'flu, or even pleurisy

If ya didn't have yer feet in yer gumboots.

Cont'd:



'Now there's rugby boots and racing boots, and boots for drinkin' rum.

But the only boots I'm never without, are the ones that start with "gum".

I've got short ones and long ones, and some up to me belt.

I'm never dressed 'till I've got on me gumboots.



Whenever I sing at the opera, my gumboots are a must.

They help me hit the high notes, and protect me feet from dust.

They keep the water well away, so me voice won't get no rust.

You will not never see me without me gumboots.



Now (names of current unpopular politicians), they haven't made a hit.

They're ruining the country, more than just a bit.

If they keep on how they're going, we'll all be in the sh1t.

So you'd better get yer feet up yer gumboots.



Chorus: If it weren't for your gumboots, where would ya be?

You'd be in the hospital or infirmary

'coz you would have a dose of the 'flu, or even pleurisy

If ya didn't have yer feet in yer gumboots!
