(Verse 1)
Well, gather ‘round mates, let me tell ya a tale,
‘Bout Robbie the Shearer, who never did fail.
He’s the best in the land, so we think and we say,
He travels ‘round shearin’ from dawn ‘til the grey.
(Chorus)
Oh Robbie, oh Robbie, you’re the king of the fleece,
With your shearin’ skills, you never cease.
From the crack of dawn to the settin’ sun,
Robbie’s in the shed, makin’ shearin’ fun!
(Verse 2)
He’s heard every yarn, every tale and more,
From the blokes in the sheds who’ve seen it before.
From the one about Bob who sheared a kangaroo,
To the night old Jack got stuck in the loo.
(Chorus)
Oh Robbie, oh Robbie, you’re the king of the fleece,
With your shearin’ skills, you never cease.
From the crack of dawn to the settin’ sun,
Robbie’s in the shed, makin’ shearin’ fun!
(Verse 3)
Now Robbie’s got a way with the ladies, they say,
With a wink and a grin, he’s stealin’ hearts away.
But his true love’s the fleece, the wool on the sheep,
He dreams of shearin’ even when he’s asleep.
(Bridge)
He’s got calloused hands and a sunburnt nose,
A back like a board and feet with toes,
That look like they’ve danced in the pits of hell,
But he’s the best damn shearer, anyone can tell.
(Verse 4)
There was that one time with the sheep on the run,
Robbie chased it down, just for fun.
He tripped and he fell, landed in a pile,
Of sheep droppings, but got up with a smile.
(Chorus)
Oh Robbie, oh Robbie, you’re the king of the fleece,
With your shearin’ skills, you never cease.
From the crack of dawn to the settin’ sun,
Robbie’s in the shed, makin’ shearin’ fun!
(Verse 5)
Now Robbie’s got stories that’ll make you blush,
Like the time he sheared sheep in nothing but a rush.
He lost his pants to a snag in the door,
And sheared the rest in his undies, what a roar!
(Outro)
So here’s to Robbie, the shearer so grand,
The legend of the shearin’ land.
With a beer in his hand and a yarn to share,
Robbie’s the bloke, beyond compare.
(Chorus)
Oh Robbie, oh Robbie, you’re the king of the fleece,
With your shearin’ skills, you never cease.
From the crack of dawn to the settin’ sun,
Robbie’s in the shed, makin’ shearin’ fun!
(Outro)
So next time you’re in a shearin’ shed,
Think of Robbie and the stories he’s spread.
Raise a glass, give a cheer, let’s toast to the man,
Robbie the Rambler, the shearin’ fan!
