The Local District Show

Colin Buchanan


Rams and jams, bulls and biscuits
Crafts and cattle, sheep and shortbread
Brought before the steward’s gaze
Stock and produce, craft displays
It’s a day when people have a go
It’s the local district show

Akubras, moleskins, ties and tinnies
Trade and pleasure, booze and business
All the experts ‘round the bar
Will tell you where the best sheep are
From Mumblebone or Old Ashrose?
You’ll find a man who knows

CHORUS
Once a year
From all around
They all converge
On the showground
Some just look, some compete
For some it’s just a chance to meet
The kids’ll walk you off your feet
But everyone’ll go
To the local district show

Dagwood dogs, chips and children
Sideshow alley, shams and shooting
Red-nosed blokes a shabby prize
Kiosk girl with hard, dark eyes
Tomorrow they’ll be on the go;
It’s just another show

CHORUS

Sprays and presses, dips and demos,
“Score a bargain”, says the sales rep
A brand new tank, to fit your need,
A special deal on wire or feed
They’ll tell you it’s all priced to go
Only at the show

CHORUS

Sale at 3, bids and buyers
Spotters scan, “hold the hammer!”
The Auctioneer, he spits and roars
“For a 25 these rams are yours!”
The bids fly quickly to and fro
When they auction at the show

CHORUS
