Old mate Coops a friend of ours
Been shearin all his life
At smoko he would drink his tea
And talk about the wife
But coops never been married
Don't think he's all quite there
But he can tell a story
Have you fallin' off your chair
Losing the plot as he gets old
But he's still got a heart of gold
He's a six pack short of a carton
He has got the whole town laughing
Doesn't play with a full deck of cards
But he's as happy as can be
He's got his friends and family
Life is good and never all that hard
When you're six short of a carton
We've got an old red kelpie
Useless on the farm
Instead of chasin cattle
She'll chase the bloddy cars
She'll try to work the sheep sometimes
To prove she's not a sook
Then you'll turn around and there she'll be
Running from the chooks
This one has clearly missed the bus
But after all she's one of us
She's a six pack short of a carton
She has got us all laughing
Doesn't play with a full deck of cards
But she's as happy as can be
She's got her friends and family
Life is good and never all that hard
When your six short of a carton
Now were living on our own
Not much dough to spare
We've got ourselves a farmhouse
It's a little worse for wear
In the winter it is freezing
And the summers hot and dry
Blow up the pool go swimmin'
In the paddock with the flies
No need for washing up it's great
The old red dog will clean our plates
Were a six pack short of a carton
And weve got the whole town laughing
We don'tplay with a full deck of cards
But were as happy as can be
Weve got our friends and family
Life is good and never all that hard
When your six short of a carton
We're a few head short in the top paddock
Just a brick short of a load
A lettuce leaf short of a salad
Six short of a carton
Few baloons short of a party
Three pots short of a shout
A couple snags short of a barby
Six short of a carton
Six short of a carton
