(Many thanks to Mel for these lyrics).
|
|
|
|
|
Gatesy:
|
A drummer,
|
|
Yon:
|
We need for our band.
|
|
Gatesy:
|
No drummer,
|
|
Yon:
|
I know of a man.
|
|
Gatesy:
|
He's a drummer,
|
|
Yon:
|
And a raconteur.
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Not dumber,
|
|
Yon:
|
Man that I prefer.
|
|
|
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
Paul Hest,
|
|
Yon:
|
Has got spiky hair.
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
Paul Hest,
|
|
Yon:
|
That just doesn't care.
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
Paul Hest,
|
|
Yon:
|
Played with Midnight Oil.
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
Paul Hest,
|
|
Yon:
|
Does a music royal.
|
|
|
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Oh Jesus...
|
|
|
|
|
Gatesy:
|
When he was in high school,
|
|
|
All of the teachers,
|
|
|
For the very first time...
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
... in history.
|
|
Yon:
|
Took on a mission,
|
|
|
And signed a petition,
|
|
Gatesy:
|
To get that little Hester kid expelled.
|
|
|
Nobody does, Paul Hester
|
|
Yon:
|
Dum, dum, dum, dum... ahhhhh...
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Others try hard but they fail,
|
|
Yon:
|
Dum, dum, dum.
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
Nobody does it,
|
|
|
Quite the way he does,
|
|
|
He's one very sexy male.
|
|
|
|
|
Yon:
|
They call him, when they need him, their hearts are inspired.
|
|
Gatesy:
|
(Guitar-like) Neow neow neow neow.
|
|
Yon:
|
Richard ?? Penny Flanagan, Debra Conway admired.
|
|
|
|
|
Gatesy:
|
What is he expected to do?
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
Deck chair overboard.
|
|
Gatesy:
|
As long as he's banging them drums,
|
|
|
I could think of no better place.
|
|
|
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
He's simply Paul Hest...
|
|
Yon:
|
...er Paul Hest-er.
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Better than all the rest.
|
|
Yon:
|
...er Paul Hest-er.
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Better than Ringo Starr.
|
|
Yon:
|
...er, Paul hest-er.
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Not that that's very hard.
|
|
|
|
|
Yon:
|
Yes he is a friend,
|
|
|
That's a lie, I hadn't met him before.
|
|
|
But lately something changed, it's so hard to ignore.
|
|
|
I opened up the TV week and I'll tell you what I saw,
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
He's talking 'bout his new TV show with Brian Nankervis in tow,
|
|
Yon:
|
On Saturday ABC late, late at night.
|
|
|
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Now they all wanna be,
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
Hessy's girl.
|
|
|
Hessy's girl,
|
|
|
He's got the show biz thing down packed.
|
|
|
|
|
Yon:
|
Now you're heading down to be someone,
|
|
|
Should have had your own TV show years ago.
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Got a deal with the ABC,
|
|
Yon:
|
Lots of favourite people coming on,
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
Lots of famous people having fun,
|
|
Yon:
|
In the back of the SV...
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
... Hester-madly keeping himself fit.
|
|
|
|
|
Gatesy:
|
You know this one!
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
Systematically working up a sweat.
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
For a drummer he's not an airhead
|
|
|
Hester-madly...
|
|
|
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Working up a...
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
... Shedding in the right direction,
|
|
|
Yeah, he's shedding in the right direction.
|
|
|
|
|
Yon:
|
From listening to Martin/Malloy,
|
|
|
I could tell that he was far from extinction.
|
|
|
A real good talker,
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
Good looking,
|
|
|
He reminds me of someone hot between Tom Cruise and Ray Fines,
|
|
Yon:
|
So let me sit back and enjoy and I'll pop a cork and turn on the TV...
|
|
|
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
Hey Paul Hester!
|
|
Yon:
|
Durn durn dur da!
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
Spend a little time with me.
|
|
Yon:
|
And wouldn't you like to play drums, drums, drums?
|
|
|
How about a few laughs, laughs?
|
|
|
Come and show us a...
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
... Good time!
|
|
Yon:
|
