Whyalla

[Verse 1]

You got one hell of a public library

Home to the military

You got a camper named Harry

And a flaming steelworks factory

South Australia's third most populous city

South Australia’s third most populous city

South Australia’s third most populous city

[Chorus]

Whyalla, why won't you be my home?

Whyalla, why won’t you be my home?

[Verse 2]

Just south of Iron Knob

The residents seem to like iron ore a lot

It's got an arid climate and it's going to get hot

And if you jump the fence, you might step on a bomb

If you jump that fuckin' fence, you might step on a fuckin' bomb

You jump the fence, you might step on a bomb

[Chorus]

Whyalla, why won't you be my home?

Whyalla, why won’t you be my home?

Whyalla, why won’t you be my home?

Whyalla, why won’t you be my home, my home, my fuckin' home?

[Bridge]

Well, Barrie Robran came from Whyalla

Three-time Magarey Medal winner, back in 1968, '70, and '73

And the first South Australian to be granted Legend status in AFL history

You fuckin' ripper, Bazza!

Then there's Karyne Di Marco, whose birth name was Perkins

And she could throw a hammer 67.4 metres through the air

Pretty bloody good in my book

But not good enough to ever take home the gold in any major sporting event

But she still gave it her all, and we're bloody proud of ya, Kazza

And then there's Alessandro Parisi

Who played pinball for 28 hours straight down the Westland shops back in January 2007

Setting a Guinness World Record, and showin' the whole world that dreams really do come true

And his record still stands to this day, that day being today, which doesn't exist, it never has, and it never will

And all my humble listeners, you are Alessandro Parisi!

[Chorus]

Whyalla, why won't you be my home?

Whyalla, why won’t you be my home?

Whyalla, why won’t you be my home?

Whyalla. why won’t you be my home, my home, my fuckin' home?
