if you looked at this town a few decades ago
you’d be appalled by the sheer lack of density
but this model before you shows a place on the grow
where fast becoming an immense city
between you and me
it’s a ripe opportunity
to invest in nothingless
than des-tinyyyyy!
awwwww, yeah!
there’s a porpoise spit casino –
and guys like you and me know
if you wanna make an omelette
you have to break some eggs
they didn’t want it here
but i gave the all clear
now it’s the tallest bl–dy omelette in the southern hemisphere!
done! i got it done!
our new shopping mall
used to be the old town hall
with a stupid statue!
we bulldozed the lot
the historical committee picked a fight
it wasn’t pretty
so i offered them shares –
they signed up on the spot
[heslop family]
done! ba ba da da ba ba ba ba ba dum
i got it done! ba ba da da ba ba ba ba
[bill]
when they say stop!

[charlie chan]
battling for porpoise spit!
[investor]
what’s this building here?
[bill]
oh that building there!
that’s porpoise spit high school
sadly not for sale
[investor]

[bill]
it’s where all my kids attended
[investor]

[bill]

[heslop family]

here’s an example
of a typical millennial
my daughter muriel
never gets it right!
wants to be a secretary
i paid the tuition fee
10,000 dollars!
she still – can’t – type!
[muriel]
if i couldn’t type
then why did they give me my secretarial diploma?
[bill]
because i paid for it!
now she just sits around like a dead weight!
watching tv, sleeping all day and getting arrested at weddings!
you’re useless
you’re all useless!
a useless bunch of no hopers!
carparks!
resorts!
malls!
casinos! [charlie chan]
the giant prawn! prawns, prawns!
the fun banana! prawns, prawns!
the big chip! prawns!
sugar cane tower!
[bill & charlie chan]

[deidre chambers]

[bill & charlie chan]
i do it large!
[deidre chambers]

[bill, charlie chan & deidre chambers]
the things you can accomplish
when the grown ups are in charge!
looking forward
let’s push ahead!
strap on the boots!
run it up the flagpole and see who salutes!
