Lyrics

From Lower Springvale to the Frankston Freeway

Until you get to that bitumen stain

That runs between two road highways

Happy people trapped in its invidious single lane

If you're behind a truck or freighter

Say "Thank god for the Mordialloc Road duplicator"

So I work for the RCA

I got big bulldozers and earth shifters

I dig all those cut-away slopes

With 700 tonne capacity lifters

If you're interested in roadworks see me later

I'm the Mordialloc road duplicator

[chorus:]

All you people on Christmas vacation

Here is a reason for jubilation:

They're ain't no better roadworks in the nation, yeah

Than the Mordialloc Road duplication

One day all the way to Portsea

It'll all be big divided freeways

They're'll be turnoffs to Tootgarook

Cranbourne, Frankston, Five Ways

The whole peninsula will be my crater

I'm the Mordialloc Road duplicator

(chorus)(x2)

"The drug, the drug of music.

The drug, the drug, drug, drug, drug, drug drug"

"Aaah. listeners... perhaps we should explain um. Thankyou Joe!"

"The ghost who talks is speechless, ladies and gentleman"
