THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE
Words and music by Lachlan Irvine, 2021.
[C]/[F][C] [C]/[G][C] [C]/[F][C] [F][G][C]/
[C] He's the man who [F] wasn't [C] there,
He's the man who [G] doesn't [C] care.
He wasn't there a-[F]-gain to-[C]-day,
[F] How I [G] wish he'd [C] go away.
[C]/[F][C] [C]/[G][C]
[C] Announcements are his [F] special-[C]-ty,
But someone else must [G] do the [C] work.
His negligence is [F] legend-[C]-ary,
There [F] is no [G] job that [C] he won't shirk.
[C] He's the man who [F] wasn't [C] there,
He's the man who [G] doesn't [C] care.
He wasn't there a-[F]-gain to-[C]-day,
[F] How I [G] wish he'd [C] go away.
[C]/[F][C] [C]/[G][C]
[C] Summer came to the [F] sunburnt [C] land,
So off for a holi-[G]-day he [C] goes.
The land went up in [F] smoke and [C] flame,
"So [F] what?" says [G] he, "I don't [C] hold a hose".
[C] He's the man who [F] wasn't [C] there,
He's the man who [G] doesn't [C] care.
He wasn't there a-[F]-gain to-[C]-day,
[F] How I [G] wish he'd [C] go away.
[C]/[F][C] [C]/[G][C]
[C] A plague was spreading [F] round the [C] world,
An unclean ship was [G] Sydney [C] bound.
He welcomed it with [F] open [C] arms,
Saying [F] "Watch me [G] spread the [C] blame around."
[C] He's the man who [F] wasn't [C] there,
He's the man who [G] doesn't [C] care.
He wasn't there a-[F]-gain to-[C]-day,
[F] How I [G] wish he'd [C] go away.
[C]/[F][C] [C]/[G][C]
[C] The plague took off in [F] our back-[C]-yard,
With a deadly and a [G] scary [C] pace.
We need vaccines & we [F] need 'em [C] fast,
"What's the [F] rush", says [G] he, "it's [C] not a race".
[C] He's the man who [F] wasn't [C] there,
He's the man who [G] doesn't [C] care.
He wasn't there a-[F]-gain to-[C]-day,
[F] How I [G] wish he'd [C] go away.
[C]/[F][C] [C]/[G][C]
[C] His favourite toy was [F] Robo-[C]-debt,
At the blameless poor he [G] threw the [C] book.
But when it comes to [F] paying [C] tax,
He [F] lets his [G] rich mates [C] off the hook.
[C] He's the man who [F] wasn't [C] there,
He's the man who [G] doesn't [C] care.
He wasn't there a-[F]-gain to-[C]-day,
[F] How I [G] wish he'd [C] go away.
[C]/[F][C] [C]/[G][C]
[C] He made a deal with the [F] US-[C]-A,
To get some inter-[G]-national [C] fame.
The president spoke for [F] all of [C] us,
Saying [F] "Thank you [G] Mister [C] Whatsisname."
[C] He's the man who [F] wasn't [C] there,
He's the man who [G] doesn't [C] care.
He wasn't there a-[F]-gain to-[C]-day,
[F] How I [G] wish he'd [C] go away.
[C] He's the man who [F] wasn't [C] there,
He's the man who [G] doesn't [C] care.
He wasn't there a-[F]-gain to-[C]-day,
[F] How I [G] wish he'd [C] go away.
