Casey Jnr.Song of the Roustabouts

Hike! Ugh! Hike! Ugh! Hike! Ugh! Hike!
We work all day, we work all night
We never learned to read or write
Were happy-hearted roustabouts
Hike! Ugh ! Hike! Ugh! Hike! Ugh! Hike!
When other folks have gone to bed
We slave until were almost dead
Were happy-hearted roustabouts
Hike! Ugh! Hike! Ugh! Hike ! Ugh! Hike!
We dont know when we get our pay
And when we do, we throw our pay away
(When we get our pay, we throw our money all away)
We get our pay when children say
With happy hearts, 'Its circus day today'
(Then we get our pay, just watching kids on circus day)
Muscles achin
Back near breaking
Eggs and bacon what we need (Yes, sir!)
Boss man houndin
Keep on poundin
For your bed and feed
There aint no let up
Must get set up
Pull that canvas! Drive that stake!
Want to doze off
Get them clothes off
But must keep awake
Hep! Heave! Hep! Heave! Hep! Heave!
Hep! Heave ! Hep! Heave! Hep! Heave!
Hep! Heave! Hep!
Swing that sledge! Sing that song!
Work and laugh the whole night long
You happy-hearted roustabouts!
Pullin, poundin, tryin, groundin
Big top roundin into shape
Keep on working!
Stop that shirking!
Grab that rope, you hairy ape!
Poundin! poundin! poundin! poundin!
Oh...
