The Fosters Car Park Boogie (1)

I'm a bogan (2) baby, always was
I'm only happy when I punch a Mod (3)
And in walked a pine-headed turd
I looked at my mates, said "Thank you God"

Died black hair, done all spiky
Saw him laugh when they played Bon Jovi (4)
Had a jacket on just like a bikie
If there's a bigger Mod, could you please show me?

Jumped up little bludger

Me and my mates were gathered round
What was on? - well nothing much
Had me a pair of mockers (5) on
My denims nearly crushed my crutch

Thought that we'd go into town
But then I said, "Well, what the fuck"
Fosters car park, I've always found
Just hang out there and I'm in luck

Snot-nosed, jumped up little bludger
When I see you, wanna punch ya

We followed him out of the pub
Told him "Rock 'n' roll will never die."
Then down on dirty bitumen
Me mates and me showed him just why

Do you wanna die for art?
If you wear black leather pants?
Come on down to Fosters car park
Me and the boys give you your chance

Snot-nosed, jumped up little bludger
When I see you, wanna punch ya

Annotations

1. From The TISM Guide to Little Aesthetics: "Fosters is one of the several large 'beer-barns' that are sprinkled throughout the outer reaches of suburban Melbourne. They are a magnet for middle class youth that are often known as 'yobs' or 'bogans'. 'Mods' - another social sub-culture - are opposed to the bogans."
2. "Bogan" is an Australian slang term for someone who lacks stylishness in their manner and appearance.
3. "Mod" was originally a British slang term from the 60s for youths who, influenced by the modernist movement in music and design, affected neat, clean dress.
4. Bon Jovi are the quintessential American leather-panted, long haired, cock-rock band.
5. Slang term for moccasins. The latter, with tight denim jeans, are a typical bogan outfit.
