Long Jumping Jeweller |
| Everybody can’t be heroes but some can still try |
| To make their lives a little different |
| Before the time it goes by |
| Now I live up around the north shore |
| In a room with no view |
| Every morning on that ferry, my view is filled with you |
| I’m gonna let my heart take me away |
| I’m gonna jump a little further every day |
| I’m gonna let my heart take me away |
| I’m the long jumping jeweller of Lavender Bay |
| She’s there every single morning |
| With about a hundred more |
| They watch as I come a runnin', they all know the score |
| I always like to be the last one |
| So I jump as she pulls away |
| The gap gets a little bit wider the longer I delay |
| I’m gonna let my heart take me away |
| I’m gonna jump a little further every day |
| I’m gonna let my heart take me away |
| I’m the long jumping jeweller of Lavender Bay |
| I handle gemstones in the city |
| In a little lane off Australia square |
| I got one picked out for you that looks so pretty |
| But I got to make you notice that I’m there |
| Well, I started to make the papers |
| And people began to bet |
| Would I end up with the lady |
| Or would I just end up getting wet? |
| Now I’m not gonna give you the answer |
| In, oh, so many words |
| But swimming in Sydney Harbor |
| You know is strictly for the birds |
| Tweet, tweet, for the birds |
| I’m gonna let my heart take me away |
| I’m gonna jump a little further every day |
| I’m gonna let my heart take me away |
| 'Cause I’m the long jumping jeweller of Lavender Bay |
| I’m the long jumping jeweller of Lavender Bay |
| Long jump, long jumping jeweller |
| I live in Lavender Bay, hear what I say |
| I’m the long jumping jeweller of Lavender Bay |
| Long jumping jeweller, long jumping jeweller |
| I live in Lavender Bay, long jumping jeweller |
