Jimmy Sharman's Boxers

Roll up, roll up, roll up
 Jimmy Sharman...
 Come on, drink ... beer, have a go at the boys
 Jimmy Sharman now, oi!
 ♪
 From the red dust north of Dalmore Downs
 Sharman's tents roll into town
 Twelve will face the auctioneer
 Sharman's Boxers stand their ground
 ♪
 Their days are darker than your nights
 But they won't be the first to fall
 Children broken from their dreams
 But they won't be the first to fall
 Fighting in the spotlight
 Eye's turn blacker than their skin
 For Jimmy Sharman's boxers
 It's no better if you win
 Standing in the darkness
 Lined up waiting for the bell
 The days are wasted drinking
 At the first and last hotel
 Why are we fighting for this?
 Why are you paying for this?
 You pay to see me fall like shrapnel to the floor
 What is the reason for this?
 There is a reason for this
 What is the reason they keep coming back for more?
 ♪
 The blows now bring him to his knees
 Still, the crowd calls out for more, for more
 The drums are burnin' in his ears
 The man keeps counting out the score
 ♪
 This is the place, the first and last hotel
 This is the place, the first and last hotel
 Flat on your face, the first and last hotel
 You're not in the race at the first and last hotel
 Front of the pub, the first and last hotel
 Flat on your face, the first and last hotel
 Their days are darker than your nights
 But they won't be the first to fall
 (Ain't) no children broken from their dreams
 But they won't be the first to fall
