SOURCE: Frankie Davidson recorded in Melbourne in April 1963 SITE SOURCE: CITY LIFE HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO SEE KINGS CROSS?If you think you've done some travelling, like to say you've been around,That you've seen the sights of Paris or the heart of London Town, You might say a night in Soho would be mighty hard to toss, But let me tell you folks that you just ain't lived Until you've seen Kings Cross. Chorus: Have you ever been to see Kings Cross where Sydneysiders meet? There's a million faces goin' places walkin' up 'n down the street. Why tourists everywhere in their travels do declare I've seen the world you can hear 'em cry, And they'll bet you a tenner to a con man's swy You won't have seen the lot until the day you die If you haven't been to see Kings Cross. Let's take the eating houses that you find along the way, You might like to dine with a glass of wine or a serve of Shrimp Mornay, Or you can try the spots down under, you get a three course for a zack, Where you can write your will as you pay the bill Just in case you don't get back. You've got a list of spots to see and you'd like to spend some dough So you tell the taxi driver just where you'd like to go, You might do a tour of Sydney when in fact it's on the cards That the place you sought when you climbed aboard Was up the road a hundred yards. So if you're a weary traveller and you think you've seen the lot Well take my tip and make the trip while the money you've still got, And in later conversation you'll never be at a loss 'Cos you can tell 'em all that you had a ball When you went to see Kings Cross. |
