[Intro: Wesda, Rene Brack, Chopper Read]

You ever thought of getting a job?

Well, but- no, no, perish the thought

No I-I have applied for work, I have applied for work

Up and about in Tassie

Up and about in Tassie

Prayin' those cops don't catch me

Prayin' chlamydia don't catch me

[Chorus]

Up and about in Tassie sippin' James Boag's

Always in the flanny, never change clothes

I stay cashed up, what's the ATO?

Tearin' up the Derwent in my wakeboat

Another speedin' fine, fuck, I hate those

They think I'm Brumbys how I always make dough

Workin' in the mines, I was a strong bloke

Now I'm livin' off the workers compo

[Verse]

You registered your company with ASIC, you're basic

I only work for cases so the AFP can't trace it

Remember all my teachers said a cobba wouldn't make it?

But I made it in the divvy and my asshole gettin' tasered

You can see me with the Big Freeze on the beanie

I remember '06, I was minin' out in Beacy

Rockfall almost got me but I got out like I'm Bradbury

Got the shielas in my DMs and it's choc-a-block like Cadbury

I sold my Berlina, made a packet

I'm at Blundstone Arena bowlin' jaffas

Do some dealin' in the carpark of the Maccas

Up all night pullin' chicks like half-trackers

I just sculled a cascade now I'm abalone divin'

Launy Cenno closed, now a cobba gotta riot

Bellerive with the long sleeve, cobbers wanna buy it

Now I'm missin' all my guns, fuck that prick Martin Bryant

[Chorus]

Up and about in Tassie sippin' James Boag's

Always in the flanny, never change clothes

I stay cashed up, what's the ATO?

Tearin' up the Derwent in my wakeboat

Another speedin' fine, fuck, I hate those

They think I'm Brumbys how I always make dough

Workin' in the mines, I was a strong bloke

Now I'm livin' off the workers compo

[Outro]

Up and about

Up and about

James Boags (Chopper)

Cenno, cascade (Chopper)

James Boags

Chlamydia

The real Tasmanian Devil
