He says "Fred, right on the nail" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CHORUS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ VERSE 3 : There's a guy I know who lives in town I see him about once a year I suppose He's had a coronary since Easter He's got a haemorrhage in his ear He went bankrupt a couple of weeks back And now his wife's left him too I said "You're looking odd mate, You're looking queer, what are ya gonna do?" (Slight Pause) E# He said "We don't know how lucky we are To live in this joint mate" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CHORUS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ VERSE 4 : So when things are looking really bad And you're thinking of giving it a way Remember, New Zealand's a cracker And I reckon come what may If things get appallingly bad And we're all under constant attack Remember, we want to see good clean ball And for god's sakes, feed your backs E# We don't how fortunate we are to have that place E# We don't know how propitious are the circumstances Fredrick. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OUTRO : E# We don't know how lucky we are, get it right E# We just don't realise how fortunate we are E# We have no idea, the luck, we possess, collectively E# We just don't know how lucky we all are.
