Lyrics

Wasted and wounded
 And it ain't what the moon did
 I got what I paid for now
 See you tomorrow
 Hey, Frank, can I borrow
 A couple of bucks from you
 To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
 You'll go waltzing Matilda with me
 I'm an innocent victim of a blinded alley
 And I'm tired of all these soldiers here
 No-one speaks English and everything's broken
 And my strength is soaking away
 To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
 You'll go a waltzing Matilda with me
 Now I've lost my St. Christopher
 Now that I kissed her
 And the one-arm bandit knows
 And the maverick Chinaman
 With the cold-blooded sigh
 And the girls down by the striptease shows go
 Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
 You'll go a waltzing Matilda with me
 No I don't want your sympathy, fugitives say
 That the streets aren't for dreaming now
 Manslaughter dragnet
 And the ghost that sells memories
 Want a piece of the action anyhow
 Go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
 You'll go waltzing Matilda with me
 And it's a battered old suitcase in a hotel someplace
 And a wound that would never heal
 No prima donnas the perfume is on
 And old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey
 And it's goodnight to the street-sweepers
 The night watchmen flame-keepers
 And goodnight Matilda too
 ♪
 Goodnight Matilda too
