Traveller's Polka

Performed by entire group

Written from a 'getting booked' experience that seemed unfair at the time but in hindsight was the catalyst for most of these songs. The folk wisdom of 'It's an ill wind' is after all a truism. Perhaps a new kind of dance could be invented called a Pol-car.

Lyrics

Where are you going on this day?
Travellin’ down the South Coast way.
Where are you going did you say?
Down the South Coast way.
If you go to *Gerringong, it won’t take you very long,
But you must negotiate *‘The Bends ‘ at speeds appropriate.
  4 -Bar Break for POLKA improvisation.

Where are you going on this day?
Travellin’ down the South Coast way.
Where are you going did you say?
Down the South Coast way.
If you visit wineries & drink as much wine as you please,
When rolling hills have too much roll, watch out for the road patrol.
  4 -Bar Break for POLKA improvisation.

Where are you going on this day?
Travellin’ down the South Coast way.
Where are you going did you say?
Down the Coast South Coast way.
Take care going down *Mt Ousley, you can get booked very easily,
80, 90,110, then, back to 80 K’s again.
   4 -Bar Break for POLKA improvisation.

Where are you going on this day?
Travellin’ down the South Coast way.
Where are you going did you say?
Down the South Coast way.
If you go to * Seven Mile Beach to watch the rollers as they reach,
And take a bite of the *golden ark watch out for a Property Shark.
   4 -Bar Break for POLKA improvisation.

Where are you going on this day?
Travellin’ down the South Coast way.
Where are you going did you say?
Down the South Coast way.
From one who didn’t see the signs,
And copped too many speeding signs.
Remember you should watch with care ....
The ‘Pol-kar Man’ is everywhere .....
      SIREN SOUNDS
