Back in the Sticks - John Edmond
[Lyrics]
We're back in the sticks
We're back in the sticks
We're back in the sticks again
It's the tenth time we've been in the flippin' Shatein
We're back in the sticks again
Oh give me a shower and electric power
and a shave without any pain
and a big feather bed, to lay down my head
cause I'm back in the sticks again
We're back in the sticks
We're back in the sticks
We're back in the sticks again
It's the tenth time we've been in the flippin' Shatein
We're back in the sticks again
Oh give me some shoes, cause boots are bad news
and a raincoat that keeps out the rain
Please let me strap my comical cap
cause I'm back in the sticks again
We're back in the sticks
We're back in the sticks
We're back in the sticks again
It's the tenth time we've been in the flippin' Shatein
We're back in the sticks again
Oh give me a grog, it's the life of a dog
Give me a brandy and pain
or and ice cold Shumba to tickle my tumba
I'm back in the sticks again
We're back in the sticks
We're back in the sticks
We're back in the sticks again
It's the tenth time we've been in the flippin' Shatein
We're back in the sticks again
Give me a brunette or a lovely redhead or a blonde
to boggle my brain
Cause a bird in the bush would really be mush
I'm back in the sticks again
We're back in the sticks
We're back in the sticks
We're back in the sticks again
It's the tenth time we've been in the flippin' Shatein
We're back in the sticks again
We're back in the sticks
We're back in the sticks
We're back in the sticks again
It's the tenth time we've been in the flippin' Shatein
We're back in the sticks Againnnnn
[Lyrics transcribed by The Ghost of Ian Smith in June of 2019]
