PC Immi got me itchin for a bitchin

Rx medi better gimme a prescription

Somethin to calm the nerves

Before I start-a-pitchin

About the friggn curve ball

Flung from their jurisdiction

Oh yeah my father

My knight in shining armor

Met my mother in a milk bar

Fell in love n made a family

Brother sister n me

Had a chicken farm in Africa

Until we fled the bloodshed

Rocked up at the Aussie harbor

Back in the 80s empty-handed

Then IBM moved us to Karratha

Aunt n uncle followed soon after

Along with my grandma n grandfather

We all became Aussies True Blue

The Goodies MTV n mixed lollies

Pool parties roller skates n drive-in cinemas

Summer loving cousins

Finished school got degrees

Except for me lol

Our families all expanded

Years n years of memories

Yeah my boy was born True Blue too

You see my father

Built a life here for thirty years

Paid taxes, paid what’s due

Won design awards to name a few

Yeah his contribution

Deserves a standing ovation

But being an ex pat off he flew

Cause you do whatchya gotta do

And go where the crust aint burnt

Italian boots and a British rucksack

He’s now married to lovely Linda

Yeah his British wife

She has a daughter here too

Who’s married True Blue

And they have two boys too

But they’re caught up in a catch 22

So skip now to twenty twenty two

Thanks to friggn COVID

Citizenship denied

Cause you mute the voice with your multi choice

Impossible questions n sterile rejection

Friggn authority n red ink

No matter how you try

It’s always access denied

They didn’t skip the queue

But they’re jumpin through your hoops

While you’re munchin on ur fruit loops

But to you n you n you

Does it even ring a bell?

Ding dong let me remind you

For Christ sake you’re makn a mistake

Even his mum n dads ashes

Are scattered here True Blue

And a heart deserves the right

To be in two places can’t you see

Yeah who decides who stays

And who’s gotta go?

So if they gotta go, I think i’ll go too

Cause that aint True Blue

And it doesn’t feel like home

So go on tear our family apart

Cause if that’s the essence of being True Blue

I’m outta here too
