 Intro repeated until:
 Where I was caught with a friend age 11 sniffing tractor fuel
We  thought we were pretty cool breaking them changing shed rules
But  do you see up there? The banner  hanging in the air
The  Presbyterian fair, well I never  go, there’s too many Presbyterians there
But  if you’re interested, the fair’s in the  third weekend of August every year
But  don’t bother entering the raffle, it’s always won by some  kid of the Mayor
Oh  do you hear that sound? The town clock heard  from anywhere in town
Until  1960, there was a little place in Norway,  we bought it for a hundred pounds.
Rumor  has it they sold it cheap because the chimes were too
loud
But  every time I hear that sound it makes me so proud
Look  to your left, what a beautiful  sight
It’s  Paula, Paula Thompson, nee Paula Wright
Look  at her hair, it’s still gorgeous even now
Flowing  like the Waimahunga river, which incidentally is to  your right
And  is the largest in the area, in terms of volume
Everybody  look at Paula, Look  at Paula Thompson
I  always thought I’d marry Paula, but some  things just
 don’t work out that  way
Well  that’s the most important thing you’ll learn on the tour today
That  and the fact that there’ll be a toilet break at the
information  center near the mermaid lake
 REPEAT INTRO X2
Paula  Thompson  born in ’54, to a family  of four
To  the family next door, take  me back next door
Paula  Thompson  nee Paula Wright, that’s her  old house up at
39, Number  41 was mine,  if this old coach could go  back in
time,  I’d drive to 1979
 (Take me back section)
(5th  fret)->->  (Repeat  few times)
 Repeat Intro once, end of F
