Rod Quantock
|
| |
|
|
Gatesy:
|
This is the Rod song by Tripod.
|
|
|
|
|
Scod:
|
If Rod quit the game,
|
|
|
How would things be?
|
|
|
We'd say that Jeff is to blame,
|
|
|
But we couldn't dream of,
|
|
|
Taking on the regime,
|
|
|
The way that Quantock can.
|
|
|
|
|
Tripod:
|
Yeah.
|
|
Scod:
|
Rod is good.
|
|
Tripod:
|
Yeah, yeah.
|
|
Scod:
|
Rod is great.
|
|
Tripod:
|
Yeah, yeah.
|
|
Scod:
|
(Dismissively) Yeah, yeah, yeah.
|
|
|
|
|
Tripod:
|
What if Rod was one of us?
|
|
|
Just a sod like one of us?
|
|
|
Not prepared to make a fuss?
|
|
Scod:
|
What a state we'd all be in.
|
|
|
|
|
Tripod:
|
Australia, you're standing in it,
|
|
|
Standing in it for Australia.
|
|
|
|
|
Scod:
|
They say the neon lights are bright,
|
|
|
Down Rod's way...
|
|
Yon:
|
Down Rod's way...
|
|
Scod:
|
They say there's always magic in the air.
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
Down Rod's way.
|
|
|
|
|
Gatesy:
|
But Quantock never bats an eye,
|
|
|
'Cause he's a pretty cluey guy,
|
|
Scod:
|
To spot the bullshit, he is always there.
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
That's Rod's way.
|
|
|
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Conducting bus tours round the town,
|
|
|
Is Rod's way...
|
|
Yon and Scod:
|
That's Rod's way...
|
|
Scod:
|
Founding father of Aussie Comedy.
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
That's Rod's way.
|
|
|
|
|
Scod:
|
You know,
|
|
Gatesy:
|
He's a friend of the ABC,
|
|
|
Supporter of "Choose Cruelty Free",
|
|
|
And some would say a bit of a lefty.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I can see, I can see,
|
|
|
Afternoon telly,
|
|
|
Just a vision of you,
|
|
Tripod:
|
Captain Snooze.
|
|
|
|
|
Gatesy:
|
If I buy, if I buy,
|
|
Tripod:
|
A queen size,
|
|
Gatesy:
|
I'll maybe get a free doona too,
|
|
Tripod:
|
Captain Snooze.
|
|
|
|
|
Scod:
|
Legs that sold a thousand waterbeds!
|
|
|
|
|
Yon:
|
Are you the actual Captain?
|
|
|
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Now Tripod would like to present something very special.
|
|
|
For the very first time, biting political satire with impersonations!
|
|
|
Take it away, Yonny!
|
|
|
|
|
Yon:
|
Have you heard what's going round?
|
|
|
That Quantock bloke's been putting us down.
|
|
|
Ohhh, well I never!
|
|
|
'Cause what a swell party this is.
|
|
|
|
|
Scod:
|
That's awful. Do Jeff Kennett.
|
|
|
|
|
Yon:
|
Mean to me? Why must you be mean to me?
|
|
|
Come on, Rod,
|
|
|
It seems to me that you love to hear me crying.
|
|
|
You're up against me and you're contesting my seat.
|
|
|
If you'll look like you'll beat me,
|
|
|
Well, you know what I'll have to do.
|
|
|
I'll... just have to cheat.
|
|
|
|
|
Scod:
|
That's not Jeff Kennett, that's the eagle from The Muppets!
|
|
Yon:
|
What do you want for your subscription dollar?
|
|
|
|
|
Gatesy:
|
From a distance,
|
|
|
There's a wee guy,
|
|
|
With a chook on a stick.
|
|
|
But he's the...
|
|
Tripod:
|
... voice of hope.
|
|
Gatesy:
|
He's a...
|
|
Tripod:
|
... real nice bloke.
|
|
|
|
|
Gatesy:
|
What do you expect us to say?
|
|
|
|
|
Tripod:
|
'Cause Rod is watching us,
|
|
|
Rod is watching us,
|
|
|
Rod is watching us...
|
|
Gatesy:
|
From a distance.
|
|
|
|
|
Tripod:
|
Rod is watching us,
|
|
|
Rod is watching us,
|
|
|
Rod is watching us...
|
|
Gatesy:
|
From a distance.
