Campbelltown

Style: Bouncy

Notes: A bright and happy song about … Campbelltown!

The night alarm goes off at five O’clock,

And banging down the street the garbage truck.

Mister Fenwick is opening up the paper shop.

The kitchen light in Jenny Ridges place is burning hot.

And people start to come out in the cold morning light,

Greet each other, but keeping their lips together tight.

Cars are leaving garages, a trail of red tail-lights,

In Campbelltown,

Better than your home town.

Life in my town is good

And the people are

Nice and friendly,

They always say: “how are you?”

Sun is shining,

The flowers are blooming.

I bet you wish you were

Living in Campbelltown

Mister Brown wakes up with a stretch and a yawn

Gets up, goes out, and starts to mow his lawn

Kids are walking to school with their bags full of books

Mrs Smith opens up her blind to take a look

Colin Banister, back from his morning run,

Gets a boiled egg and toast for breakfast from his Mum

Tennis ladies are planning their lunch, already,

Here in Campbelltown,

Better than your home town.

Life in my town is good

And the people are

Nice and friendly,

They always say: “how are you?”

Sun is shining,

The flowers are blooming.

I bet you wish you were

Living in Campbelltown

(Instrumental Break)

The Sun comes up and peaks through the dawn.

Cars stop on the highway honking their horns.

Trains pull into the station with people on board.

The Station Master blows his whistle in complicated chords.

Across the sky a hot air balloon drifts around,

From the basket beneath it are people looking down.

The frost is turning to dew on the grass,

And it’s a day in Campbelltown,

Better than your home town.

Life in my town is good

And the people are

Nice and friendly,

They always say: “how are you?”

Sun is shining,

The flowers are blooming.

I bet you wish you were

Living in Campbelltown

Life in my town is good

And the people are

Nice and friendly,

They always say: “how are you?”

Sun is shining,

The flowers are blooming.

I bet you wish you were

Living in Campbelltown
