Chorus:
Nobody came, but everybody had a good time.
Nobody came, but everyone said they were there.
‘Tsalways the same, when anyone else has a good time.
Nobody came, but honey I’m glad I was there.
v.1.
Tracey went hang-gliding all by herself,
But we can’t condone that. She’s a woman! So everyone
Else had been there or done better, it was quite absurd.
Just like old fishermen telling of fish they’ caught,
We had all flown just as far as we wished, you ought
Never believe it, but you never can question a word.
Chorus:
v.2.
I met an old friend who had nothing to do,
So we spent the night ritual dancing for two
In another strange bedroom, just several phone calls from here.
It was seven parts memory and three absentee,
Said, “it usually happens more easily for me.”
She said, “we’ll have to do this again, in another nine years.”
Chorus:
v.3.
They sold our uranium all overseas
‘cause it earned them more money than ripping up trees,
So we charged them with treason, and governed for peace don’t you
know?
And we ran the country for seventeen weeks
‘til they bought all the votes and put us up the creek,
Then they opened up Roxby and bravely got on with the show.
Oh yeah, and nobody came, but everybody had a good time.
Nobody came, but everyone said they were there.
‘Tsalways the same, when anyone else has a good time.
Nobody came, but honey
(spoken) I mean Geez! If I hadn’t been there,
nobody would have been able to get it together at all, ya know? I mean
everyone had to be pulled into line a little bit, and before ya knew it,
in no time at all, we had a homogeneous, totally united, aesthetically
pleasing, distilled and blended, biggest pile of horseshit in the entire
country,
And honey, I’m glad I was there!
