lirik lagu colin buchanan - trader bob
[verse 1]
on a goulburn winter’s morning
the band were still asleep
went kicking past the dealers
northern end of auburn street
i ambled up a laneway
to k!ll a little time
i was drawn into the gateway
with the bargain centre sign
[verse 2]
well i’d wandered into heaven
could not believe my eyes
a bric~abrac nirvana
big boy lucky dip surprise
a cave of trash and treasure
it was tumbling off the shelf
and the master of the magic
was trader bob himself
[chorus]
well if he doesn’t have it
he knows where you can get it
and if he doesn’t just forget it
cos it probably can’t be got
he’ll wander off and mutter
reappear from all the clutter
with a widget he’d discovered
in his hand, sayin’ “i reckon this’ll probably do the job.”
that’s the way it worked with trader bob
[verse 3]
well he had a box of gauges
and i asked him, “what are these?”
he said, “cessna altimeters, mate ~
if you buy one, you get one free.”
his old torpedo covers
they were runnin’ out the door
to be buried, full of rifles
getting hidden from the law
[verse 4]
there were cobbler’s blocks and army socks
and artificial limbs
job lots bought at auction
choking tubs and drums and bins
i bought a box of sundries
he said, “see you later, cob!”
and as i stepped into the sunshine
i thought, “good onya trader bob.”
[chorus]
well if he doesn’t have it
well he knows where you can get it
and if he doesn’t just forget it
cos it probably can’t be got
he’ll wander off and mutter
reappear from all the clutter
with a widget he’d discovered
in his hand, sayin’ “i reckon this’ll probably do the job.”
that’s the way it worked with trader bob
[verse 5]
he worked 25 years at knowlman’s
before he set up shop
the stuff he sold is growing old
but it’s still holding goulburn up
the whiskered walking opposite
of your mighty hardware chain
and i somehow doubt we’ll see the like
of trader bob again
[chorus]
and if he didn’t have it
well he knew where you could get it
and if he didn’t just forget it
cos it probably can’t be got
he’d wander off and mutter
reappear from all the clutter
with a widget he’d discovered
in his hand, sayin’ “i reckon this’ll probably do the job.”
that’s the way it worked with trader bob
yeah, that’s the way it was with trader bob
