This here's the story 'bout ginger faye
Packed her blush and made her way
From uva the story of ginger faye
Pretty as a picture tall as a man
Fire pole-thin with a sunbed tan
If anyone can make it down there
She can
A half a world away...
The story of ginger faye

The broken dreams of ginger faye
Her finger sports a rock
One that couldn't be digest
In the belly of a croc
The broken dreams of ginger faye
An unknown jewel of the usa
Right before she could say "g'day" she
Got pulled from the dock
In the jaws of a croc

This here's the story
'bout you know who
Sat 'neath a log
In the bottom of a swamp
For a day or two without a thing to do
Took a trip on a roll of death
Put up a fight 'til out of breath
No fine in nature for body theft
Maybe time in a sydney zoo...
What else you gonna do

CHORUS

You know now to never prompt attack
We fetched you once
But he came to claim you back

Now there's a legend called ginger faye
Took her name and opened a bar down
Queensland way called ginger faye's
What's a poor young yank to do
When they blow her tune
On a didgeridoo
The one's in the dark are very few
About the legend of ginger faye
Half a world away

CHORUS
