Lyrics
Boom Times are Here to Stay
Your taxi Sir, to take you home Sir, Toorak did you say?
Boom times Sir, for you AND me: that?s eight I?ve had today
To Toorak all dressed to the nines
A ?mellowed by fine food and wines
My business thrives on he who dines
And ventures home my way
Ventures home my way
The Ordinaries did well again
The index gained three score and ten
More good news for you business-men
Boom times are here to stay
Boom times are here to stay
Proudly say I also own a little of the action
Now read the finance pages first
JOHNNY: What? Pigsarse, not before the footy section?
TAXI DRIVER ?Though really Sir the surest sign
Is watching how you rich blokes dine
So by the looks my shares are fine
TOGETHER I hope that?s how they stay
Sure hope that?s how they stay.
The Ordinaries did well again
The index gained three score and ten
TAXI DRIVER More good news for you business men
TOGETHER Boom times are here to stay
Boom times are here to stay
