Mount Isa

Mount Isa ©BRH 21 September 2008

Mount Isa is a mining town, famous for its copper,

But when it comes to romance it's a pain;

Five blokes to every Sheila means you'll prob'ly come a cropper,

So the mayor's invited women who are plain.

We've got fat blokes, thin blokes, short blokes, tall blokes,

Some are pretty rough but some are nicer;

So if you're plain, get on the train,

And find yourself a man in Mount Isa.

Mount Isa is a mining town, famous for its zinc,

And now it's in the papers round the world,

'Cos our women didn't like it and they kicked up quite a stink

When the mayor invited beauty-challenged girls.

We've got fat blokes ……

Mount Isa is a mining town, there's silver in the shale,

But silver's what you get for coming second;

So the beauty-disadvantaged come from Perth and New South Wales,

'Cos Mount Isa men aren't fussy, so it's reckoned.

We've got fat blokes ……

Mount Isa is a mining town, famous for its lead,

And for its out-of-balance population;

So if you thought you'd never get a bloke into your bed,

Mount Isa might be worth consideration.

We've got fat blokes ……
