The perils of doing something well once and never thereafter.

lyrics

FOSBURY FLOP

It was just after the Treaty out the back of Ohauiti
I was doing the Fosbury Flop
I pressed my hands to the sides of my effl uent strides
When something in my teenage mind went pop

It was just after the Ark down at Pemberton Park
We were kicking a ball in the dark
As the grass turned Braille we all popped an ale
And clasped its bitter judgement to our hearts

We don’t care about the charms of the city, the charms of the city, we’re off
We don’t care about the charms of city, the charms of the city,
Waimapu looking pretty or your silly Rose of Tralee, because we’re off Goff
We don’t care about the charms of the city, the charms of the city, we’re off
We don’t care about the charms of city, the charms of the city,
Waimapu looking pretty or your silly Rose of Tralee, because we’re off Goff

We're off Goff, we're off Goff

It was just after the Treaty out the back of Ohauiti
I was doing the Fosbury Flop
I pressed my hands to the sides of my effl uent strides
When something in my teenage mind went pop
