I left this place ten years ago
Cause it got damned crowded
And now where me old stomping ground is
The ocean and city collided
Hell and high water
Hell and high water
Oh where oh where has my beaut beach gone
A tiny coast town you ain't
Your rivers and sewers are pouring raw sewage
It sticks to my skin like wet paint
Hell and high water
Hell and high water
Sailing boating swimming surfing
Who's gonna swim in that gunk
Ain't it strange, the grommets
At Manly take the odd dip - kerplunk!
Hell and high water
Hell and high water
Hell and high water
Come see, come saw
There's gore for all
Water is brimming with trash
You're taking a chance when you go in the water
What's in there will give you a rash
Hell and high water
Hell and high water
It's sad how everyone's shit piles up
Nothing smells meaner
If everyone's doodoo went out on the trash train
This place would be cleaner
Hell and high water
Hell and high water
Hell and high water
