Meet me down by the jetty landing
			             
Where the pontoons bump and sway
			 
All the others reading, standing
		      			     
As the Manly ferry, cuts its way to Circular Quay    

			   
Hear the captain blow his whistle
		         
So long he's been away
			   
I miss our early morning wrestle
    		        	          *riff1*
Not a very happy way to start the day

	   	 		
She don’t like, that kind of behavior
	                     
She don’t like, that kind of behavior
		    		   
Throw down your gun, don’t be so reckless
		      
Throw down your gun

		   
Like Scott in the Antarctic
		          
Base camp too far away
		   	  
Russian sub beneath the Arctic
			      		    *riff1*
Burke and Wills and camels, Initials in the tree

	   	 		
She don’t like, that kind of behavior
	                     
She don’t like, that kind of behavior
!		    		   
Throw down your gun, don’t be so reckless
!		      
Throw down your gun
