Don't Ask Jack Iversen For His Opinion On Wonthaggi

Don't ask Jack Iversen for his opinion on Wonthaggi
For he will only tell you it is great
And you'd swear by him that it is sheer utopia
The very next step down from heaven's gate.

If you offered him one hundred thousand dollars
He would feel hard put for to put Wonthaggi down
His own small piece of heaven in south west Gippsland
His heart and soul is in old Wonthaggi Town.

He always speaks in glowing terms of Wonthaggi
Where he says you have the best of both worlds land and sea
And he has never yearned for distant places
You'll hear him say Wonthaggi will do me.

He has a fishing boat and he goes fishing
Out of San Remo 20 K's away
With his dear friend Rina and his good mate Kenny
They leave Wonthaggi at the dawn of day.

He has lived all of his years around Wonthaggi
A happy and helpful bloke and good to meet
Sturdy built and silver haired and in his seventies
And for many years the Mayor of old Loch Street.

Don't ask Jack Iversen for his opinion on Wonthaggi
For he will only tell you it is great,
He loves the place it is his own utopia
The very next stop down from heaven's gate.
