[rev. Oct. 2, 2016]

In a lovely little borough
I grew up in Turramurra
Leafy tree-lined avenues
It's a lovely place

If you're ever feeling down
As you're driving out of town
It's just adjacent to Ku-ring-gai Chase
Aww

On those long summer nights
That don't come to an end
I'm hanging out here with my old school friends
And my girl Corrine

We grew up together
Like singing music forever
Let Sylvie talk of all that might have been
Oh yeah

And I think of my friends
And I realize a lot of the things
That we thought would happen
They ain't gonna happen
But we haven't given up hope yet

A little while ago we formed a little band
And we started to practice, a one night stand
Just for fun, you know
We didn't think we were any good

After a lot of hard work and a lot of self doubt
We had a little gig and our friends came out
We had the best time anybody could, oh yeah
