Don't you ever let a chance go by O Lord
Don't you ever let a chance go by


'Cause up in Newcastle
They have very strange mating habits
All the young women of Newcastle

Walk down the main street,
Which is called Hunter Street
(for reasons which will become obvious

later on in the song)
And all the young men of Newcastle
Drive down Hunter Street

In their hot FJ Holdens
With chrome-plated grease nipples
and double reverse twin cam door handles

Sitting eight abreast in the front seat
And they would lean out the window
And say real cool things to the sheilas on the footpath


Like uhhh.... 'G'day'
And every now and then of course

One of the young ladies thinks to herself
uuum, uuuuuum


Don't you ever let a chance go by O Lord
Don't you ever let a chance go by
Don't you ever let a chance go by O Lord

Don't you ever let a chance go by

Anyway there was this mob of blokes

driving down Hunter Street
In the front seat of their hot FJ
With chrome-plated grease nipples

and twin overhead foxtails
And the cooolest of them all
Who got to sit near the window

Was young Normie

They pulled up outside the Parthenon milkbar

And standing outside the Parthenon
Was this beautiful looking sheila
'Oooohh'....'Oooooohh'.... said young Normie

Who'd come top of his class in English
'Ooooohh'... he said
So he leaned out the window and he said

real suave like he said...
'Uh, G'day'


This nine foot tall Hells Angel
Came out of the Parthenon milkbar
He looked at Norm and said

'Oh what are ya!'
Norm said 'What are you?'
The bloke on the footpath said

'Do you wanna go do ya mate, eh'
Norm said 'yeah, do you wanna go, mate'
The bloke on the footpath said,

'Yeah, I'll have a go'
Norm said, 'Do you know who ya pickin''
The bloke on the footpath said,

'Nooo, who am I pickin''
Norm said, 'You find out!'


And all of a sudden there was a break in the traffic
As any young Newcastle lad knows,
When you are getting monstered by a

nine foot tall Hells Angel
And there's a break in the traffic....


Don't you ever let a chance go by O Lord
Don't you ever let a chance go by
Don't you ever let a chance go by O Lord

Don't you ever let a chance go by

Don't you ever let a chance go by O Lord

Don't you ever let a chance go by
Don't you ever let a chance go by O Lord
Don't you ever let a chance go by
