lyrics

Mount Tom Price and Paraburdoo

Chorus
Mount Tom Price and Paraburdoo
They’re mining mountains no hullaballoo
One of these days these great big holes
Could be the world’s biggest swimming pools

Working in a heatwave
Don’t know what I’m gonna save
I’m telling you it’s the way to make a start
A good operator is worth his weight in gold
When I build a home I’ll be too cool too cool too cool
Chorus …. for me and you

Money for the iron ore
Dig and rail and ship them more
Still got Mandurah cornered in my mind
Make another pay day another brick and room
When I build a home I’ll build a pool
a pool a pool
Chorus …. and Marandoo

Thinking ‘bout heading south
Been enough to Exmouth
Packed up my fortune - got it in the bag
Shimmer in my mind - Mandurah’s in my hand
Now they can’t say that I’m a fool a fool a fool
Chorus …. no hullaballoo
