Meet me down by the jetty landing

Where the pontoons bump and spray

All the others reading standing

As the Manly ferry

Cuts it's way to circular quay



Hear the Captain blow his whistle

So long she's been away

I miss our early morning wrestle

Not a very happy

Way to start the day





(Refrain:)



She don't like that kind of behaviour

She don't like that kind of behaviour



(Chorus:)



So throw down your guns

Don't you be so reckless

Throw down your guns

Don't you be so



Feel like Scott of the Antarctic

Base camp to far away

A Russian sub beneath the Arctic

Burke and Wills and camels

Initials in the tree
