In the bar there were two blokes arguin', <br />And I reckoned any minute now fists their would start to swing. <br />The tall one wagged his finger and said a vulgar word, <br />And shorty, he had hit it, and this masterpiece I heard. <br /> <br />'I hope your chooks turn into emus, <br />And peck your dunny down. <br />Peck your dunny down. <br />Really go to town. <br />I hope your chooks turn into emus. <br />Yes, I do, I really do. <br />And when they've pecked your dunny down, <br />I hope they peck on you.' <br /> <br />The bartender came over and said, 'Hey, shorty, what's all this fuss about? <br />You're getting to obstropolis, I'll just have to put yous out.' <br />The tall bloke's eyes were brimmin' <br />And his face was fiery red. <br />'He reckons he's me cobber! Did you hear what he just said! ? ' <br /> <br />'I hope your chooks turn into emus, <br />And peck your dunny down. <br />Peck your dunny down. <br />Really go to town. <br />I hope your chooks turn into emus. <br />Yes, I do, I really do. <br />And when they've pecked your dunny down, <br />I hope they peck on you.' <br /> <br />I finished off me schooner and walked right out the door. <br />I'd watched a strong man cry and couldn't stand it anymore. <br />But still the memory lingers through the hubub and the beers. <br />Those famous words of shorty's that re-echoed in my ears. <br /> <br />'I hope your chooks turn into emus, <br />And peck your dunny down. <br />Peck your dunny down. <br />Really go to town. <br />I hope your chooks turn into emus. <br />Yes, I do, I really do. <br />And when they've pecked your dunny down, <br />I hope they peck on, <br />Hope they peck on, <br />Hope they peck on you.'<br /><br />Satan's Sibling<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-hope-your-chooks-turn-into-emus-lyrics-famed-aussie-poem/
