(repeat as above)
Do you want to meet up at the Pickwood Bowl
We could knock nine down and leave one in the hole
Wouldn't be here if the Athenia hadn't sunk
Or if Dear ol Dad hadn't got so drunk
Every other day is a kick in the shins
Every other day it's like the day just wins
But you make it all right, you make it OK
You make me sorta glad that I waited till today
You're pretty as a penny, roller-skate skinny
Pretty as a penny, roller-skate skinny
(guitar break)
Roller-skate skinny and the terrible twos
Two years in and it's time to choose
Love feels good when it sits right down, puts its feet up on the table and
it sends a bowl around
Ain't nobody gonna see eye to eye
With a girl who's only gonna stand collarbone high
Rain's gonna come in fair-sized drips
We're gonna go to heaven wearing paper-hat ships
You're pretty as a penny, roller-skate skinny
Pretty as a penny, roller-skate skinny

G Em C

G Em C
I believe in love, but it don't believe in me
