Must be Saturday

RANDWICK BELLS

Randwick bells are ringing
Must be Saturday
I woke late in the middle of the day
Must be Saturday

Put a blanket on the window
And come on back to bed
We got nowhere to be and no place to go
So come on back to bed

We’re gonna rise up singing
We’re gonna rise up singing

Randwick bells are ringing
Through the empty rooms
The bells are ringing high and wide
For the bride and groom

Put a blanket on the window
Cover it up, cover it up
It’s much too bright in here
Stop walking around with just that towel on
Come on back to bed
Make me smile
We’re gonna rise up singing
We’re gonna rise up singing

Randwick bells are ringing
Randwick bells are ringing
C’mon baby, let’s cook something up
C’mon baby, let’s fix something up

Paul Kelly

One of my favourite songs.

I’ve just realised he’s singing about heroin at the end.

All these years and I completely missed the reference!
