Intro:
C majorC A minorAm G+G C majorC
Verse:
G+G C majorC
I remember the days that we used to go fishing
FF C majorC G+G
After the whiting around Skirmish Point
C majorC
With a carton of stubbies, a bucket of yabbies
FF C majorC G+G
And worms that we dug from all over the joint
C majorC
And a plastic container of plonk
G+G C majorC G+G
And a plastic container of plonk
Verse:
C majorC
Remember the day old Charlie got blotto
FF C majorC G+G
And fell all about in a tangle of lines
C majorC
He was singing his head off and whirling his sinker
FF C majorC G+G
And while he was having a wonderful time
C majorC
He spilled me container of plonk
G+G C majorC G+G
He spilled me container of plonk
Verse:
C majorC
Now it splashed all about and some fell in the bucket
FF C majorC G+G
And the yabbies all went on a beautiful spree
A minorAm
They drank me rough red and got tight as old Charlie
FF C majorC G+G
Arguing and singing, left nothing for me
C majorC
Of me plastic container of plonk
G+G C majorC
Of me plastic container of plonk
Verse:
G+G C majorC
We were baiting with yabbies all well marinated
FF C majorC G+G
And waving their claws as they went on their way
C majorC
And the whiting all heard of this marvellous tucker
FF C majorC G+G
And came in their thousands from all round the Bay
C majorC
To indulge in some yabbies and plonk
G+G C majorC G+G
To indulge in some yabbies and plonk
Verse:
G+G C majorC
Now our creels were soon full, so we started off homeward
FF C majorC G+G
With a teetotal nephew to manage the car
C majorC
And the whiting all rose to surface to thank us
FF C majorC G+G
For the new taste sensation that came in a jar
C majorC
Me plastic container of plonk
G+G C majorC G+G
Me plastic container of plonk
Verse:
C majorC
So don't talk to me about burleying whiting
FF C majorC G+G
Just take a tip from an old fisherman
C majorC
Get some rough red and before you go fishing
FF C majorC G+G
Tip a good slosh in the bait-holding can
C majorC
From your plastic container of plonk
G+G C majorC
Your plastic container of plonk
