Errol
Australian Crawl · Other Songs - Australian Crawl
It just don't rate
He want to get higher
Apple Isle, the inbred smile
He's going to get by'a
His mother's hand
He could not stand
He left for the islands
To fish and hunt
He take a punt
The New Guinea Highlands
Ohhh Errol
I would give everything just to be like him
He had to go
The Sirocco
He's sailin the high seas
Hollywood, Captain Blood
He's billing the Nazi's
Took a rebel stand
Contraband
Coast of Mexico
He want to pounce
Like an animal
To girls he just can't say no
Ohhh Errol
I would give everything just to be like him(x2)
He had them all
Screamin for more
He play the wild scene
Ah scandalise, no compromise
He's down on his knees
Swashbuckling
He was the King
The toast of Tinseltown
They build him up
They took it all
And then they just cut him down
Ohhh Errol
I would give everything just to be like him(x2)
Don't tell me it's true
I don't wanna hear about it (4x)
Ohhh Errol
I would give everything just to be like him(4x)
