Lyrics
By Dingo, Hamersley HHH, contributed by J.R., Capital HHH Note: Song is based on a true story, notorious in Australia, about a mother who claimed her missing baby was eaten by dingos during a camping trip to Ayers Rock.
Some Seventh Day Adventist went for a barbecue (barbecue, barbecue) Where they met some dingoes that could eat much more than you (more than you, more than you)
Chorus: Dingo, dingo Beware of the dingo, With a baby in its mouth
Lindy packed some vegies, but those dingoes wanted meat (wanted meat, wanted meat) Kidneys and liver and arms and hands and feet (hands and feet, hands and feet)
Chorus
They searched and searched, and searched, and searched, all around Ayre’s rock (Ayre’s rock, Ayre’s rock) But all they found were dog turds, and a baby’s sock (baby’s sock, baby’s sock)
Chorus
While the lawyers argued, Lindy got up the duff (up the duff, up the duff) The dingoes were ecstatic, cos they hadn’t had enough (had enough, had enough)
Chorus
Lindy got the lawyers, to fuck the government (government, government) For a million or more, enough to pay the rent (pay the rent, pay the rent)
Chorus
The loser was the taxpayer, it usually is that way (is that way, is that way) Especially when those lawyers and journos have their say (have their say, have their say)
Chorus
The dingo is a noble beast, who merely likes to eat (likes to eat, likes to eat) And a veggie-reared Adventist, must have been a treat (been a treat, been a treat)
Chorus
Journalists and lawyers, they are a rotten lot (rotten lot, rotten lot) It was them and not the dingo, that they should have shot (should have shot, should have shot)
Chorus
And now our story’s over, there’s only one thing left to say (left to say, left to say) The dingo likes to graze, on the seventh day (seventh day, seventh day)
Chorus
