Now Blue was known around the town as a real decent bloke
He could take it on the chin when the chips were down
And he could always take a joke
You could pick him for miles by his friendly smiles
He always gave a few
With the colour of his hair he had names to spare
But we all called him Blue
G'day Blue, how they're treating you
Come and have yourself a beer
We all feel better when you're around
So drag yourself a beer
You're never on the bite and you never escape
You're as dinkum as can be
You're a good mate, Blue
And I'm telling you, you can have this one on me
When I stand around and listen to the things that people say
I reckon if there were more like Blue we'd be better off today
When the boots go in, Blue will give the grin and give it to you straight
He sees only good like all of us should
And he'll stand up for a mate
And we say, G'day Blue, how they're treating you
Come and have yourself a beer
We all feel better when you're around
So drag yourself a beer
You're never on the bite and you never escape
You're as dinkum as can be
You're a good mate, Blue
And I'm telling you, you can have this one on me
Now Blue's not ashamed to let you see the gentle side of man
He'll offer his seat to the fairest *** any time he can
For he'll never stare and he doesn't swear when a lady's walking by
These things we men should learn again
And hold our heads up high
Ah, G'day Blue, how they're treating you
Come and have yourself a beer
We all feel better when you're around
So drag yourself a beer
You're never on the bite and you never escape
You're as dinkum as can be
You're a good mate, Blue
And I'm telling you, you can have this one on me
Australia needs more men like Blue to lift us up once more
And our comradeship and will to win has crumbled on the floor
Our fair gold mate's gone out the gate
We no longer seem to care
Should the lakes of blue ever meet with you
I reckon you will declare
And you'll say, G'day Blue, how they're treating you
Come and have yourself a beer
We all feel better when you're around
So drag yourself a beer
You're never on the bite and you never escape
You're as dinkum as can be
You're a good mate, Blue
And I'm telling you, you can have this one on me
Ah, you're a good mate, Blue
And I'm telling you, you can have this one on me
