Jeffter

A near to perfect summer day of 25 degrees
And in old Caledonia street a gentle coastal breeze
In the gardens and the nature strips is rustling in the trees
And around the flowers and blossoms the buzz of flies and bees.

But Jeffter from the Solomons those Islands far away
Thinks it is a bit chilly far from a perfect day
One from a warmer climate where it is warm all year
The Islands they call paradise the Islands north of here.

Married to Beth an Australian Wonthaggi is now his home
But the Island that he came from he never could disown
The man has left his Island but the Island in him stay
And nostalgia does not die easily that's what the migrant say.

A warm hearted fellow Jeffter as warm as the breeze
That blows across his Island in the Pacific seas
And quite true to his heritage he smiles quite easily
We ought to bless the Solomons for people such as he.

In the old former coal town in South Gippsland with his step daughter and wife
For Jeffter from the Solomons a different sort of life
From the life he was used to but he will settle down
And he will be an asset to old Wonthaggi Town.

A near perfect day in Wonthaggi free of humidity
But Jeffter from the Solomons with that would not agree
For him a little chilly no warmth in the breeze
And he would like it warmer by at least ten degrees.
