Nomads with Gonads - From CPC Site


Grey 'n' Brave (alternative title...Nomads with Gonads)
Darkness came down on the caravans ...
parked behind the pub
A fair bunch of old Grey Nomads, the Country Camping Club
They choose to stay near country pubs, they enjoy the atmosphere
Plus the meals are pretty good and there's always ice cold beer
Up there in the front bar, the boss calls it a day
The barmaid sweeps the floors, the guests are on their way
Back out to their caravans for a night of blissful sleep
Another golden day of making memories to keep
Although his missus disapproves, Laurie Jones from Bright
Conducts his final business in the moonlight every night
He feels at one with nature out there in the evening breeze
And he does at least go far enough to be shadowed by the trees.
As he stood out there this evening he knew something wasn't right
A van pulled up behind the pub and it had not a single light
Now Laurie is no hero, he's not that brave at all
But standing in the shadows he couldn't help but see it all
Two blokes dressed in black had opened up the van
They unloaded some equipment, no doubt they had a plan
To rob the pub tonight, and right then Laurie knew
He'd better pull his finger out and alert the camping crew
Way out there in Balanville there is no cop in town
They'd have to call them in, it'd take an hour to come down
So the nomads gathered urgently in Normy Cavan's annexe
They'd have to step up to the plate Without much time to plan it.
Barney Rogers was ex Military so he assumed command
He had a dozen old grey nomads who were ready there at hand
Mackenzie got his bagpipes out to lead them to the fray
They told him " No Jock, it's not Braveheart , we'll go in quietly today"
Little Austin Chivell had scouted the entire hotel scene
And reported they were in the cellar with oxy acetylene
He heard them working on the safe, cutting out the door
They wouldn't need much longer, the time to act was now for sure
Barney led them in, they crossed the lawn a dozen strong
Jacky James spotted equipment he thought they'd take along
It was a kiddies slip and slide, they ran it out along the floor
It went right from the entrance thru to the cellar door
Laurie made some soapy slush and spread it on the mat
There's not a man alive who could stay vertical on that
The crooks were both still busy down there in the cellar
So big Billy Brand got on his run up, a man mountain, a huge fella
Laurie knocked on the cellar door, yelled "hey whats goin on?"
They heard the bloke run up the steps, their plan was right on song
Billy thundered up the hallway and went feet first on the mat
They reckon he hit a Hundred Ks or maybe more than that
The man in black stepped out the door and Billy wiped him out
Backwards down the cellar steps, out cold without a doubt
What a sight was Billy, wearing jocks and that was all
From that night on they'd call him 'the human cannon ball'
The crook still in the cellar pretty quickly knew the score
He bolted up the steps and did a runner for the door
But the passage was in darkness , just one light down near the back
Head down he made a dash for it, then everything went black
He rushed on through the darkness thinking he might make it yet
But it was then that he encountered Les Watson's fishing net
Illegal right across the nation , Les kept it 'just in case'
It was bound to be a tangled mess when hit at such a pace
Flapping like a Murray Cod down there on the floor
The boys wrapped the net around him and duct taped him to be sure
There would be no escape, the robbery was foiled
The Grey Nomads had worked together like a machine that was well oiled
Twenty minutes later the cops rolled in, sirens wailing, flashing lights
They were greeted and surprised by a most relaxing sight
All the Nomads and their ladies eating scones and drinking tea
And couple of would be burglars were duct taped to a tree
The cops were most impressed "how did you get it done?"
"We worked together as a team, it was actually quite fun"
"As we travel around we sometimes meet folk who are quite feral
But if you underestimate Grey Nomads, you do so at your peril.
