Kid: It's the Bayview - when you're 35 and middle aged
Wasting precious years away, hoping to get laid by a cougar
Single mom, root her
Twenty-dollar drink to woo her, what a loser
Speaking of the drinks, what's f**in' going on there
Bartender stares when I'm groaning, that's not fair, bro
$5.50 for a Carlton, what's the go
Australia says no, to your sh** prices in your trendy pubs, mutt
f** it bruz, head with us, to the Sawdust
But it's shut - Closed for good now
Another good pub in town run down to the ground
Now the only place around is this pompous crap
Hats off in the pub, no I won't do that
But you got a seccy rat for no reason just to prove that
The establishment got a bit of cash
Now the only place left to unwind is amongst the wine and the fine food
I'm so confused; A pub's about the booze and the blues and the booze
This ain't Masterchef - The cun't ain't started yet
Thirty minutes for a meal so I depart and jet
Next door to the bab shop to grab a bab
I'd rather have a six dollar steak any day mate over this gay place
But at least it ain't the HHH, what a chafe aye
Art: Bayview fever, Bayview fever
Nowhere else to go to
Cause I don't have a local pub
Since they shut the Sawdust
Kid: And could someone tell me -
What the hell's a f**in' function room, you c*nts are rude
What you tryina prove, deconstruct and move the pool table downstairs
Where every c*nt stares, cause your gameplay better than theirs
I miss that hidden room at the top of the steps
Turnin' off the tunes on the jukebox set
Playin crap on purpose, so you put your cash in for the service
I unplugged it from the wall since I learnt it
Throwin' coasters round like frisbees
With the boys with me, breakin' fifties, being shifty
Let's not forget when I fell in love with pinball
The free game, balls to the wall
I was in for the heartbreak, when they take it away
No more replay, came the day when the function room replaced
All that was, just for what
So a bunch of rich snobs and gronks got what they want
Who the f** you think you are
King of what, gone too far
Think you're ooh-la-la, la-di-da, to drink with the commoners
Off your high horse, don't force to ignore the poor
Cause a few olmateys walked in the door
Pour a drink, it's a must
Nowhere else to go since they closed up the Sawdust
All that's left is the Bayview; can't even see the bay
Not a glimpse of water should rename to
Faceless and seethrough, complete you
Nah, think I got it, they should call it Treeview, decieved you
Art: Seven bucks for a rum and coke..
Gave the guy a twenty before I even realised what was happening.
That's bullsh**
Bayview fever, Bayview fever
Nowhere else to go to
Cause I don't have a local pub
Since they shut the Sawdust
Kid: And here's Art Rush
Art: Ten minute walk up the hill but I got pilled
Bloke without a local and the rum and coke's a joke
Seven bucks for a gla**, I ain't got cla**
Think I can afford that
Buy olmate a drink with a twenty
I don't even think I got twenty cents back, got jacked
No pinny at the pub, it's a crime
Spending time at the 'Dust was a must till it went bust
Feelin' suss sittin' in the booth at the B-View
Middle-aged gronks wearing ties
Free sausage rolls, free party pies and chicken fries
The size of it is that it's sh**
Function room's an empty room
What's the point, used to like this joint
Came here all the time and I repped it
Now you wrecked it, so I disrespect it
Where am I supposed to go now
The G-Ville RSL, Top Ryde Royal, Ryedales, PJs, HHH
f** it mate, get some takeaways
Cause I don't have a local pub
Since they shut the Sawdust
Bayview fever, Bayview fever
Nowhere else to go to
Cause I don't have a local pub
Since they shut the Sawdust
