PUB WITH NO SHAME
(A true story-with thanks to Slim Dusty's 'Pub With No Beer')
1998


1. There's a pub by the beach
Where the rednecks all go
They can sit watching sport
As their beer bellies grow

Chorus:
For there's nothing so cowardly
As racists in packs
With a dress-code to keep
out the ferals and blacks

2. If you think that the ferals
And blacks should wear shoes
You're a bigot like Ray
And the locals he screws

Chorus:
For there's nothing so cowardly
As racists in packs
With a dress-code to keep
out the ferals and blacks

3. Exclusion from Mandorah
Pub's not unique
I was barred once before
By their 'Publican Pete'
A Publican who fired
His gun in the air
(Just a perk of the job)
Giving natives a scare

Chorus:
For there's nothing so cowardly
As racists in packs
With a dress-code to keep
out the ferals and blacks

4. Now I don't wish to shock you
That's just not my style
But as well as a racist
Pete was paedophile
Though we served Truth to locals
Pete served them cold beers
So his girlfriend looked big
For a child of twelve years

Chorus:
For there's nothing so cowardly
As racists in packs
With a dress-code to keep
out the ferals and blacks

5. A "Paedophile racist
was running the pub?"
I'm afraid that there's more
Down the Kox Kountry Klub
Where locals are huddled
In expectant fear
Of the knowledge they've kept
out the blacks for ten years

Chorus:
For there's nothing so cowardly
As racists in packs
With a dress-code to keep
out the ferals and blacks

6. The locals who protected
'Paedophile Pete'
At the Mandorah Pub
(Where we can't set our feet)
Invaded and ransacked
Our bush home in vain
We've no fear of the Klan
At the Pub with no shame

Slim Dusty, the self-confessed number one fan of John "the silver-tongued cadaver" Laws, may be turning in his grave over this appropriation of White Australia's Greatest Hit, but ... what's that? He's not dead yet? Coulda fooled me. Anyway check out P.A.R.I.A.H. for it and the legal battles of Mick Lambe and the Cox Peninsula brothers and sisters against Australia's very own taxpayer-funded apartheid. It'll make your blood boil.
