The Foxleigh Rodeo

(album: The Man Who Steadies The Lead - 1980)

Good on you mate, you've made it here
So happy you could come, and you really backed a winner if you're looking for some fun
Our horses and our cattle are just raring for the go
We're gonna have a good time at the Foxleigh Rodeo

It's so good mate you could make it and you'll really make the show
And we're gonna have a grand time at the Foxleigh Rodeo

I see you brought Old Darkey, your old camp horse of renown
When you're out before the judges that old horse won't let you down
And your mates are waiting for you with a stubby at the bar
I can hear 'em shouting, "First you'd better park your car"

It's so good mate you could make it and you'll really make the show
And we're gonna have a grand time at the Foxleigh Rodeo

There's a certain pretty lady asking if you had a ride
I can see a hint of romance in the twinkle in her eye
If you'd care to take her dancing we've got something in your line
At the bushman's ball and barbeque we'll dance to 'Auld Lang Syne'

It's so good mate you could make it and you'll really make the show
And we're gonna have a grand time at the Foxleigh Rodeo

We'll have pretty Appaloosas, we'll have quarter horses too
And the good Australian stock horse have to show what they can do
We'll have brahma bulls and bullocks, we'll have parties for the kids
And fun for all the youngsters trying to catch the greasy pig

So come on all you ringers with an urchin you can ride
We don't know what you're made of till you've been out there and tried
The Mackenzie River ladies are a-waiting for the show, to cheer and clap their idols at the Foxleigh Rodeo

Yeah, it's good mate you could make it and you'll really make the show
And we're gonna have a grand time at the Foxleigh Rodeo
