1
Now the weary week has ended, it's pay day on the job
2
Let's go down to the local and mingle with the mob
3
You'll meet the dinkum Aussies, rough and ready as they are
4
With hard faces brown as leather, lined up around the bar
5
Someone is sure to greet you, you chaps I'm glad to see
6
Come on you pair of somethings, and have a drink with me
7
While the barmaid juggles glasses and the boss works with a will
8
For he loves to hear the rattle of the silver in the till
9
Now the rousabout is busy, he hasn't time to think
10
And I'm sure he'd never hear you if you ask him for a drink
11
Oh the barrels that are heavy will be light ones very soon
12
When the brumbies come to water on a pay day afternoon
13
Now the world is such a great place, everyone is doing well
14
And strange it is to listen to the stories that they tell
15
Some are ridin' buckin' brumbies, some are up north in the cane
16
Some are growling at the weather and are wishing it would rain
17
And there's old Jimmy Wooter in the corner by himself
18
Telling stories to the bottles that are standing on the shelf
19
Oh he once was high and mighty though forlorn he's looking now
20
In a hat that came from nowhere and a torn old Jackie Howe
21
Now the clock is moving onwards, the lightweights have their fill
22
But those with more horse power are staying with it still
23
Some have already had it and are layed out in a swoon
24
They'll be grumpy when they wake up on a pay day afternoon
25
Hear the hen-pecked hubbies saying what will become of me
26
For I told my little woman that I'd hurry home to tea
27
She's going to play old Harry and whale like one bereft
28
When she digs into my pockets and she finds there's little left
29
But if he uses a bit of blarney she'll forgive
