Meet me down by the jetty landing
Where the pontoons bump and spray
All the others reading standing
As the Manly ferry
Cuts it's way to circular quay
Hear the Captain blow his whistle
So long she's been away
I miss our early morning wrestle
Not a very happy
Way to start the day
Refrain ~
She don't like that kind of behaviour
She don't like that kind of behaviour
Chorus ~
So throw down your guns
Don't you be so reckless
Throw down your guns
Don't you be so
Feel like Scott of the Antarctic
Base camp to far away
A Russian sub beneath the Arctic
Burke and Wills and camels
Initials in the tree
