Click Go the Shears - Lazy Harry
Out on the board the old shearer stands
Grasping his shears in his thin bony hands;
Fixed is his eye on a bare-bellied joe
Glory if he gets her won't he make the ringer go
Click go the shears boys click click click
Wide is his blow and his hands move quick
The ringer looks around and is beaten by a blow
And curses the old snagger with the bare-bellied joe
In the middle of the floor in his cane-bottomed chair
Sits the boss of the board with his eyes everywhere
Notes well each fleece as it comes to the screen
Paying strict attention that it's taken off clean
Click go the shears boys click click click
Wide is his blow and his hands move quick
The ringer looks around and is beaten by a blow
And curses the old snagger with the bare-bellied joe
There stands a tar-boy where waiting in demand
With his blackened tar-pot in his tarry hand
Spies one old sheep with a cut upon its back
Listen what he's waiting for it's"Tar here Jack"
Click go the shears boys click click click
Wide is his blow and his hands move quick
The ringer looks around and is beaten by a blow
And curses the old snagger with the bare-bellied joe
And the shearing is all over
That we've all got our cheques
So roll up your swags and it's off down the track
The first pub that we come to
It's there we'll have a spree
And everyone that comes along
It's"come a drink with me"
Click go the shears boys click click click
Wide is his blow and his hands move quick
The ringer looks around and is beaten by a blow
And curses the old snagger
With the bare-bellied joe
Click go the shears boys click click click
Wide is his blow and his hands move quick
The ringer looks around and is beaten by a blow
And curses the old snagger with the bare-bellied joe
