Lyrics: Barry Humphries
Music: Peter Anthony Best
This was not played by the Grateful Dead. The song was inserted into an early Grateful Dead lyrics file by Stanford deadheadsas a joke, and apparently as a tracer to catch plagiarists. It still turns up if you search for Grateful Dead Bondi Pier. The song featured in the soundtrack of the Australian film The Adventures of Barry NcKenzie. I think its proper title is "Chunder in the Old Pacific Sea".
I was down by Bondi Pier, drinkin' tubes of ice cold beer
With a bucket full of prawns upon my knee
When I swallowed the last prawn
I had a technicolor yawn and I chundered in the old Pacific Sea
Drink it up, drink it up, crack another dozen tubes and prawns with me
If you want to throw your voice, mate you won't have any choice
But to chunder in the Old Pacific Sea
I was sittin' in the surf, when a mate of mine called Murf
Asks if he can crack a tube or two with me
The bastard barely swallowed it
When he went for the big split, and he chundered in the Old Pacific Sea
Drink it up, drink it up, crack another dozen tubes and prawns with me
If you want to throw your voice, mate you won't have any choice
But to chunder in the Old Pacific Sea
I've had liquid laughs in cars, and I've hurled from moving cars
And I've chuckled when and where it suited me
But if I could choose the spot
To regurgitate me lot, then I'd chunder in the Old Pacific Sea
Drink it up, drink it up, crack another dozen tubes and prawns with me
If you want to throw your voice, mate you won't have any choice
But to chunder in the Old Pacific Sea
