One, two, three, four 00:00

00:02

So let me set the scene 00:24

It's 2 in the afternoon and 34 degrees 00:26

The Queensland harsh summer heat 00:29

Had me sweating buckets all up and down my street 00:32

It was there I spotted the bloke 00:35

Perched atop of his milk crate throne 00:37

He eyed me off as I approached 00:40

Then he said 00:43

I'm on smoko, so leave me alone 00:45

I'm on smoko, so leave me alone 00:47

I'm on smoko, so leave me alone 00:50

I'm on smoko, so leave me alone 00:53

00:57

I'm on smoko, so leave me alone 01:07

I'm on smoko, so leave me alone 01:10

I'm on smoko, so leave me alone 01:13

I'm on smoko, so leave me alone 01:15

01:20

So it's Tuesday morning 01:30

And my Centrelink hasn't come through 01:33

So I pick up the phone 01:36

Because I've got some abusing to do 01:37

But all I get is elevator music, waiting on the line 01:40

On hold all the time 01:43

All I get is elevator music, waiting on the line 01:46

'Til I get a reply 01:49

I'm on smoko, so leave me alone 01:51

I'm on smoko, so leave me alone 01:54

I'm on smoko, so leave me alone 01:57

I'm on smoko, so leave me alone 02:00

02:04

Agh, aw, what time is it? 02:19

Is it smoko? 02:23

I'm on smoko, so leave me alone 02:24

I'm on smoko, so leave me alone 02:27

I'm on smoko, so leave me alone 02:30

I'm on smoko, so leave me alone 02:33

I'm on smoko 02:37

I'm on smoko, so leave me alone 02:41

I'm on smoko, so leave me alone 02:44

Lyrics:

[English]

One, two, three, four

...

So let me set the scene

It's 2 in the afternoon and 34 degrees

The Queensland harsh summer heat

Had me sweating buckets all up and down my street

It was there I spotted the bloke

Perched atop of his milk crate throne

He eyed me off as I approached

Then he said

I'm on smoko, so leave me alone

...

I'm on smoko, so leave me alone

...

So it's Tuesday morning

And my Centrelink hasn't come through

So I pick up the phone

Because I've got some abusing to do

But all I get is elevator music, waiting on the line

On hold all the time

All I get is elevator music, waiting on the line

'Til I get a reply

I'm on smoko, so leave me alone

...

Agh, aw, what time is it?

Is it smoko?

I'm on smoko, so leave me alone

I'm on smoko

I'm on smoko, so leave me alone
