TALES FROM THE BOOMERANG BARD



Out at the Car Park at Paul's.



By Peter Land

We are the gang from Boomerang
We proudly wear the Black and Gold
We always strive for victory
Like our team mates of old.
We are the best club in the land
Side by side united we stand
All for one and one for all is the call
Out in the Car Park at Paul’s.

The Boomerang Club stands tall and free
Landy’s having a pee under the tree
Finchie falls off the fence
Kingy makes no sense
The night is cold the sky is clear
We show no fear as we drink our beer
The chill will probably freeze our balls
Out in the Car Park at Paul’s.

Harry the Club Monkey is climbing the tree
Jeffrey George is arguing with Smithy
Pashley’s hitting golf balls in the Car Park
Joe and Crispo can’t find them in the dark
Ease Up and Baker’s relay teams are in full flight
Pearce & Thomas’ team shows plenty of fight
Out in the Car Park at Paul’s.

Nussie and Creeve are perched up the tree
The police arrive about three
The Sergeant barks what are doing here
Mather replies, we are drinking beer
The Sarge shouts piss off it’s getting late
Make sure you leave before day break
Out in the Car Park at Paul’s.

Ray Allan’s new racket cannot be found
It’s probably on the roof far above the ground
Joe tells Horo, to go to the Coro Tomorrow
Noel Hayes might have a ladder we can borrow
Horo finds not one but sixteen rackets
Also two Boomerang club Jackets
Out in the Car Park at Paul’s.

The Club Junior is No 1 at walking the fence
Ease Up think’s he is, but that’s nonsense
Wally tries hard and is outclassed
Moorey’s attempt is a farce
Head throws a racket on the roof
Justi’s drinking over proof
Out in the Car Park at Paul’s.

There is a group standing around having a yarn
Including Shielsie, McCormick & Chicken Man down from the farm
Frostie, Scotty, Allan and Crabbie are also there
They are talking about climbing a mountain somewhere
Fordy and Joe are included in the scheme
Joe’s packing it already so it seems.
Out in the Car Park at Paul’s.

The Red Baron is talking to Ken about a company called Poseidon
About buying some shares. Ken is still deciding
They are having a yarn Kev Mahoney, Tom Connor & Ray Kettley
Kev and Tom played cricket for University recently
Some players slip off in the dark with a quiet farewell
Richard Arnold is preparing to go, so is Skell
Out in the Car Park at Paul’s.

They are going fishing, Graham Field & Glen Mann
On Saturday if the weathers fine that’s the plan
Ron Bundell and Terry Watt are hanging around, although it’s late
Both had won their matches in straight
The Club Parrott declares he has won 5 on the trot
Frankie Conlon replies that’s all rot, just ask Don Chilcott
Out in the Car Park at Paul’s.

Local Santo Coco and Max Collins are socializing as well
Santo had been there from the very first bell
The A1 Team is talking about their big win
Dave, Chris, Kingy and Wally are present also Ken
Dave had earlier beaten Curtis out of site
Later he would drive brother Peter home at midnight
Out in the Car Park at Paul’s.

Wavell’s Ray Dahl & Barry Hartshorn are enjoying the company
Playing No 4 Frank Brand had earlier beaten Dick Humphreys
Col Brandon, Capt Joe and Hairless Joe are in deep conversation
It’s about Friday night raffles at the Coronation
The beer has run out and Smithy’s collecting the money
Creeve & Co are off to the Night Owl to put food in their tummies
Some of you probably think I am a bit of a Dill
That’s it for now I have hung up my Quill
Out in the Car Park in Paul’s.
