Just One Village (Oh Bicheno)

Bicheno - beauty bottler! You’re a really bonza place Each time I think of you it puts a smile upon my face The world has wonders rare, and I’ve seen my fair share But Bicheno has an atmosphere to which they can’t compare Boiled crays (oh happy days), and all the types of fish you know Never smell the same abroad, as those I recall from Bicheno No matter where I roam - on land or sea or foam There’s just one village that I’ll always call my home Oh Bicheno, Oh Bicheno our sinews still entwine Oh Bicheno, Oh Bicheno I’m hooked - sinker and line Now if I had my choice I would never go away But fate sometimes lays down a path from which it’s hard to stray Travelling all around the world can’t set my spirit free Because I miss the village that means all the world to me Each night as I go to sleep I make a little wish you know That God will safe my hometown keep so I can return to Bicheno No matter where I be - on foam or land or sea There’s just one town that shines in my memory Oh Bicheno, Oh Bicheno you still invade my dreams Oh Bicheno, Oh Bicheno you’re bursting out my seams Oh I’m proud to be an Aussie but even better yet Is the way my heart is cradled in Bicheno’s sweet net We Bichenites are lucky and each day we should make a toast Of thanks to come from the warmish heart of Tasmania’s East coast There’s no Resort in all the world whether it is swish or no That can outshine our own true jewel: The Diamond Isle at Bicheno No matter where I stand - on sea or foam or land There’s just one town that can make my heart expand Oh Bicheno, Oh Bicheno as a hometown you’re the best Oh I’ll take Bicheno and they can shove the rest
