Tyres goin' bald
Engine's blowin' smoke
Radio don't work
Neither does the choke 
Well he's had himself a shower
He's been down a hole all day 
And he's headin' into town
To howl the night away
CHORUS
Well he's in love
Big time honey
You can see it in his eye
Every time she swishes by
He's in love 
He's in love
With the girl behind the bar n Coober Pedy
Well his after shave is cheap 
And his hair is goin' thin
His boots are polished up 
And his flannelette's tucked in
He's got a pack of winnie blues 
And a zippo for some class
And if you suggest it otherwise 
You can blow it out your trumpet
CHORUS
Well he's in love
Big time honey
You can see it in his eye
Every time she swishes by
He's in love 
He's in love
With the girl behind the bar n Coober Pedy
Well he goes to ask her on a date whenever it's his 
shout
He'll think of somethin' good to say and then he 
chickens out
He sees a lack of interest as a just playin' hard to 
get
She's already got a fella 
He just doesn't know that yet
CHORUS
Well he's in love
Big time honey
You can see it in his eye
Every time she swishes by
He's in love 
He's in love
With the girl behind the bar n Coober Pedy
With the girl behind the bar 
In Coober Pedy
