Old mate Coops, a friend of ours
Been shearing all his life
At Smoko, he would drink his tea
And talk about the wife
But Coops never been married
Don't think he's all quite there
But he can tell a story
Have you falling off your chair

Losing the plot as he gets old
But he still got a heart of gold

He's a six pack short of a carton
He has got the whole town laughing
Doesn't play with a full deck of cards
But he's as happy as can be
He's got his friends and family
Life is good and never all that hard
When you're six short of a carton

We've got an old red Kelpie
Useless on the farm
Instead of chasing cattle
She'll chase the bloody cars
She'll try to work the sheep sometimes
To prove she's not a sook
Then you'll turn around and there she'll be
Running from the chooks

This one has clearly missed the bus
But after all she's one of us

She's a six pack short of a carton
She has got us all laughing
Doesn't play with a full deck of cards
But she's as happy as can be
She's got her friends and family
Life is good and never all that hard
When your six short of a carton

Now were living on our own
Not much dough to spare
We've got ourselves a farmhouse
It's a little worse for wear
In the winter it is freezing
And the summer's hot and dry
Blow up the pool, go swimming'
In the paddock with the flies

No need for washing up it's great
The old red dog will clean our plates

We're a six pack short of a carton
And we've got the whole town laughing
We don't play with a full deck of cards
But were as happy as can be
We've got our friends and family
Life is good and never all that hard
When you're six short of a carton

We're a few head short in the top paddock
Just a brick short of a load
A lettuce leaf short of a salad
Six short of a carton
Few baloons short of a party
three pots short of a shout
A couple snags short of a barby
Six short of a carton
Six short of a carton
