The Lyrics
For my Aussie mate Busty Brasierri.A classic by Australia's top country act, the late great Slim Dusty.Another one in honor of my brief (musta been brief cause I can't remember much about it) stay in the Land Down Under.The 'Bundy Bear' is the logo of Bundaberg Rum - you have to see the TV ads to really appreciate the significance.
He's looking kinda scruffy and he thinks he's gonna chuck
And his face has turned a sickly shade of white
He's drunk a couple bottles of Bundy overproof
So leave him in the lock-up for the night
He broke into the convent and was caught by Father Tim
Drinking all the sacramental wine
The coppers came and dragged his sorry arse off to the jail
They're gonna throw the book at him this time
CHORUS
So leave him out there in the lock-up do no bail him
Leave him out there with his mate the Bundy Bear
Leave him there until he sobers up tomorrow
So leave him in the lock-up I don't care
He's looking kinda scruffy and he thinks he's gonna chuck
And his face has turned a sickly shade of white
He has faced a dozen cranky nuns with hockey sticks and mace
So leave him in the lock-up for the night
He tried to kiss the old Mother Superior goodnight
Now he's speaking in a high pitched squeak
But I doubt that he'll remember and I doubt he's feeling pain
And I doubt that he'll be out inside a week
CHORUS
So leave him out there in the lock-up do no bail him
Leave him out there with his mate the Bundy Bear
Leave him there until he sobers up tomorrow
So leave him in the lock-up I don't care
So leave him in the lock-up I don't care
And his face has turned a sickly shade of white
He's drunk a couple bottles of Bundy overproof
So leave him in the lock-up for the night
He broke into the convent and was caught by Father Tim
Drinking all the sacramental wine
The coppers came and dragged his sorry arse off to the jail
They're gonna throw the book at him this time
CHORUS
So leave him out there in the lock-up do no bail him
Leave him out there with his mate the Bundy Bear
Leave him there until he sobers up tomorrow
So leave him in the lock-up I don't care
He's looking kinda scruffy and he thinks he's gonna chuck
And his face has turned a sickly shade of white
He has faced a dozen cranky nuns with hockey sticks and mace
So leave him in the lock-up for the night
He tried to kiss the old Mother Superior goodnight
Now he's speaking in a high pitched squeak
But I doubt that he'll remember and I doubt he's feeling pain
And I doubt that he'll be out inside a week
CHORUS
So leave him out there in the lock-up do no bail him
Leave him out there with his mate the Bundy Bear
Leave him there until he sobers up tomorrow
So leave him in the lock-up I don't care
So leave him in the lock-up I don't care
