Paroles de Whyalla

You got one hell of a public library
Home to the military
You got a camper named Harry
And a flaming steelworks factory
South Australia's third most populous city
South Australia’s third most populous city
South Australia’s third most populous city

Whyalla, why won't you be my home?
Whyalla, why won’t you be my home?

Just south of Iron Knob
The residents seem to like iron ore a lot
It's got an arid climate and it's going to get hot
And if you jump the fence, you might step on a bomb
If you jump that fuckin' fence, you might step on a fuckin' bomb
You jump the fence, you might step on a bomb

Whyalla, why won't you be my home?
Whyalla, why won’t you be my home?
Whyalla, why won’t you be my home?
Whyalla, why won’t you be my home, my home, my fuckin' home?

Well, Barrie Robran came from Whyalla
Three-time Magarey Medal winner, back in 1968, '70, and '73
And the first South Australian to be granted Legend status in AFL history But not good enough to ever take home the gold in any major sporting event
But she still gave it her all, and we're bloody proud of ya, Kazza
And then there's Alessandro Parisi
Who played pinball for 28 hours straight down the Westland shops back in January 2007
Setting a Guinness World Record, and showin' the whole world that dreams really do come true
And his record still stands to this day, that day being today, which doesn't exist, it never has, and it never will
And all my humble listeners, you are Alessandro Parisi!

Whyalla, why won't you be my home?
Whyalla, why won’t you be my home?
Whyalla, why won’t you be my home?
Whyalla. why won’t you be my home, my home, my fuckin' home?
