At the dawn of the day, in the great southern ocean
When the world's greatest fish was being landed
A EAnd they were pulling it into was sinking
AThe sea was quite lumpy and the weather was foul
And the bloke with the map was as pissed as an owl
Fm F EAnd the boys called out "Maui you clown let it go"
A FmIn the noise he reached for his grandmothers jawbone
He winked at his mates and said "Boys, we don't know how lucky we are
E# D AI have a feeling I have stumbled on something substantial"
CHORUS
We don't know how lucky we are
We don't know how lucky we are
VERSE 1 :
E AI was speaking to a mate of myne, just the other day
E AA guy called Bruce Baylas actually who ah lives up way
He's been away on an 8th army doo for a year more or less
FmI said describe the global position Bruce
BHe said "Fred, it's a mess!"
CHORUS
VERSE 2 :
E AMe stock agent's got a beach place where he spends most of his days
His wife bit the dust down there last year
Agot eaten by a couple of crays
Fm F AAnd his two littlest daughters got killed by a whale
I said "Are you going down there this year mate?"
BHe says "Fred, right on the nail"
CHORUS
VERSE 3 :
EThere's a guy I know who lives in town
AI see him about once a year I suppose
He's had a coronary since Easter
AHe's got a haemorrhage in his ear
Fm F EHe went bankrupt a couple of weeks back
And now his wife's left him too
FmI said "You're looking odd mate,
BYou're looking queer, what are ya gonna do?"
(Slight Pause)
E# D AHe said "We don't know how lucky we are
To live in this joint mate"
CHORUS
VERSE 4 :
ESo when things are looking really bad
AAnd you're thinking of giving it a way
Remember, New Zealand's a cracker
AAnd I reckon come what may
Fm F EIf things get appallingly bad
And we're all under constant attack
FmRemember, we want to see good clean ball
BAnd for god's sakes, feed your backs
We don't how fortunate we are to have that place
E# D AWe don't know how propitious are the circumstances Fredrick.
OUTRO :
We don't know how lucky we are, get it right
E# D AWe just don't realise how fortunate we are
E# D AWe have no idea, the luck, we possess, collectively
We just don't know how lucky we all are. Full stop.
