Well I hiked up from Sydney in the week before Christmas
It was thirty-eight degrees in the shade
I bought a second-hand Morris for a cheap two-twenty
And drove it down to Adelaide
She boiled for an hour twenty miles out of Euston
Thought that heat would never end
And I knew I'd be home for Christmas with my Sandy
And a few extra dollars to spend
And home and broken hearted
Well I've been pasted to the telephone
Boxing Day break was wasted sitting here on my own
The beer we bought for Christmas ran dry this afternoon
On the radio it's New Year's Eve
What a low down time of the year to pack your luggage and leave
Well I drove to the buyer just as fast as I could go
Was talking to his teenage son
And I sure hope it lasted for the poor little bastard
Least until he'd had some fun
I got a taxi home with great anticipation
Thinkin' all you got to do is try
And there's a note propped up against the dressing table mirror
"Jimmy, it's over, goodbye!"
And home and broken hearted
Well I've been pasted to the telephone
A Boxing Day break was wasted sitting here on my own
The beer we bought for Christmas ran dry this afternoon
On the radio it's New Year's Eve
What a low down time of the year to pack your luggage and leave
Yeah, don't leave me baby
ย
Come on let's shake it one time
ย
Went to a party, tried to drink myself happy
Steaks were washed away in the rain
Finished up in bed with an old acquaintance
She'll never be my friend again
And everyone was asking me where's the little woman
Rolled home before the rain could stop
Well I've been sitting for days reading pre-Christmas papers
With my heels on the table-top
And home and broken hearted
Well I've been pasted to the telephone
Well Boxing Day break was wasted sitting here on my own
The beer we bought for Christmas ran dry this afternoon
On the radio it's New Year's Eve
What a low down time of the year to pack your luggage and leave
And home and broken hearted
Well I've been pasted to the telephone
A Boxing Day break was wasted sitting here on my own
The beer we bought for Christmas ran dry this afternoon
On the radio it's New Year's Eve
What a low down time of the year to pack your luggage and leave
Yeah, don't leave me baby, oh, wooh
