My Greyhound Isn’t Grey by Darryl John (c) 2011 I went and (A) bought myself a doggy, A (D) greyhound of all (A) things. To get involved in racing in, The (E) poor man’s sport of kings. My (D) greyhound’s name is Bluey, Just in (A) case you hadn’t guessed, He’s not blue in colour, He’s (E7) red, with a white (A) chest. (A) A great Australian tradition, Use (D) opposites as (A) names. I somehow think that this applies, (E) In the doggy game. There’s (D) boys with girl’s names, And (A) visa-versa I pray. Suppose it all makes perfect sense, My (E7) greyhound isn’t (A) grey. Chorus: Oh my (D) greyhound isn’t grey, I (A) like him fine that way. It’s a (B) strange sort of name I know, I’m (E7) puzzled to this day. But (D) if you own a greyhound, Your (A) life won’t be the same. Now that you’re a member of The (E7) greyhound racing (A) game. (A) Whilst out walking Bluey, Just (D) the other (A) day, From behind a fence I heard A (E) little kid’s voice say. “Hey (D) Mister what’s your doggy’s name, And (A) what sort of dog is that?” “My doggy’s name is Bluey son, He’s a (E7) greyhound, how ‘bout (A) that?” (A) “Hey Mister are you kidding?” I (D) heard his voice did (A) say. “Do I look like a mug to you? Your (E) doggy isn’t grey.” I (D) must admit he had me there, And (A) all that I could say. “You can search near and far Ain’t (E7) many that are (A) grey.” Chorus: Oh my (D) greyhound isn’t grey, I (A) like him fine that way. It’s a (B) strange sort of name I know, I’m (E7) puzzled to this day. But (D) if you own a greyhound, Your (A) life won’t be the same. Now that you’re a member of The (E7) greyhound racing (A) game. Instrumental: (A) I said to the little fella, Just (D) ask your dad and (A) mum If they can bring you to the track. The (E) next time Bluey runs. He (D) answered with a big smile, As (A) I walked past his gate. “I’d love to come see Bluey run, I (E7) think that would be (A) great.” Chorus: Oh my (D) greyhound isn’t grey, I (A) like him fine that way. It’s a (B) strange sort of name I know, I’m (E7) puzzled to this day. But (D) if you own a greyhound, Your (A) life won’t be the same. Now that you’re a member of The (E7) greyhound racing (A) game. Now that you’re a member of The (E7) greyhound racing (A) game. Now that you’re a member of The (E7) greyhound racing (A) game.

INSTRUMENTAL 1 (same as a verse) CHORUS 2: Monday morning, Sure is bad. The weekend’s over, I’m really sad. But by Friday night, When the work’s all done. We can go out dancin’, Having lots of fun.

INSTRUMENTAL 2 (same as a verse) CHORUS 3: Monday morning, Sure is bad. The weekend’s over, I’m really sad. When the week is finished, I’m right on song. We can go out and party, All night long.

Get yourself off to work, And lose those Monday morning blues. Get yourself off to work, And lose those Monday morning blues Get yourself off to work, And lose those Monday morning blues....oh yeah!

Christmas Down Under by Darryl John © 2009 ♫It’s Christmas time down under once again, Prezzies have been opened by, quarter to ten. We’ll clean up all the mess, Then we’ll go get dressed, To have a roast cooked by the women. Was really heating up outside by then, Thirty five in the shade at half past ten. Mum begins to hiss, I’ve had enough of this, Spending Christmas day in a hot kitchen. It’s Christmas time down under don’t you know, Should head down to the coast and take it slow. Surf and sand and sun well that’s the go Cos we’ve got lots of beaches, but very little snow. Now Dad’s out in the backyard by the pool, Everybody reckons he’s a crazy fool. But the grog’s in the Esky, And the chooks are on the barbie, While the salad’s on the veranda keeping cool. We finished eating and we thanked the host, I must admit a barbie is, better than a roast. Got into shorts and thongs, Grabbed all my Beach Boys songs Jammed in the car and headed for the coast. It’s Christmas time down under don’t you know, Head down to the coast and take it slow. Surf and sand and sun well that’s the go Cos we’ve got lots of beaches, but very little snow. INSTRUMENTAL It’s Christmas time down under don’t you know, Head down to the coast and take it slow. Surf and sand and sun well that’s the go Cos we’ve got lots of beaches, but very little snow. The sun is setting slowly in the west, This day is nearly over and we passed the test. Jingle bells were ringing, With everybody singing, Christmas down under is the best, I said Christmas down under, Now don’t you dare blunder, Or try to steal my thunder, Cos Christmas down under is the best.♫
