The Ballad of the Poowong Magpies
guitar chords lyrics
I saw it on the news at five about a country footy side, found new ways to fertilise.
(The Poowong Magpies)
Reporters buzzing around like flies, folks could not beleive their eyes at their oval, lush and nice.
(The Poowong Magpies)
Rest of the country's tinder-dry - not the Poowong Magpies - their grass is green as Irish eyes.
The Poowong, the Poowong, the Poowong Magpies.
South Gippsland Water sent their spies - kind of like those MythBuster guys.
Checked the levels of chlorine - just out of interest, mind,
Said, "Someone's telling porkie pies at the Poowong Magpies."
Found a secret hidden pipe to the town's water supply.
Irrigation on the sly at the Poowong Magpies.
(The Poowong Magpies)
Club President was surprised said: "Which one of you got me in strife with the authorities?"
And a voice up the back said: "It was I, I tell no lie. But a Paul Kelly song got me inspired.
It went: 'From little things, big things grow. From little things, big things grow.'
Club President was surprised said: "Which one of you got me in strife with the authorities?"
And a voice up the back said: "It was I, I tell no lie. But a Paul Kelly song got me inspired.
It went: 'From little things, big things grow. From little things, big things grow.'
From the town's emergency CFA water flows a lush green oval, and no-body knows.
A bit of plumbing improvise - who cares if massive bushfires make this town a funeral pyre?
Not the Poowong Magpies?
I did it for you guys, so we could meet out KPIs. You should be giving me high fives at the Poowong Magpies!
I showed initiative!" - he cried - "I grew the business, didn't I? I had a vision, reached for the sky!"
And that's the kind of innovative thinking that can take your company to the next level.
So the government awarded him "Young Businessman of the Year"
(The Poowong Magpies)
And now he owns a chain of juice bars.
(The Poowong Magpies)
