Shazza And Michelle

Bendigo, woah, Bendigo
Bendigo, woah, Bendigo
Bendigo, woah, Bendigo
Bendigo, Bendigo, woah

Down in Bendigo there were these two girls, Shazza and Michelle
They won a talent contest, they could sing that well
And when their friends heard about the Idol on the radio
They said, "You'll never know unless you go."

'Cause they could sing just about as good as anybody
And isn't TV fame just waiting there for everybody?
When the choice is either nursing or start rehersing
I don't think you're going to need too much coercing

You gotta bow down and worship the Idol

Shazza and Michelle they got to be strong, yeah
They're lead into temptation down in Babylon, yeah
SMS your vote, judges decision is final
Will they one day be worshipped as an Idol?

They got the bus outta Kangaroo Flat, at one
The butterflies hopping as they entered Babylon
Joined the football match crowd at the audition
So little talent, so much ambition

They were told originality is vital
As long as you follow all the rules
You'll be entitled to total freedom
To sign away your copyright, I'll show you how you could be the Idol

Well, they met a cool fella called Nebuchadnezzar
And he said "Let me help you get your career together
I can introduce you to a TV producer."
But when they met her, she looked more like Medusa

They showed Shazza and Michelle a whole new world
An eye-opener for humble country girls
Nights with club hopping, pill popping, name dropping
Days of shift work, kitchen mopping
But then things kinda got weird with Nebuchadnezzar
When he couldn't play the girls off, he tried to play with them together

He's good lookin' and he's free, he's got a wife
He's got alot of money, he's got no life
He's a real go-getter, he's insecure
He says he'll love you forever, next week, not sure

His wife doesn't understand him, neither will you
It's hard being male these days - boo hoo
You bring out his softer side
He'll spike your G'n'T - he'll never lay a hand on you
Yeah and I am Tommy Lee

Bendigo, Bendigo

Well the children of Bendigo would not bow down
You couldn't fool the children with no golden Idol
That attitude soon proved career suicidal

The rent notice came - time to get out of Babylon
They got the bus back to Bendigo - a job in the old folks home
Singing all those great old songs at the afternoon sing-a-long
And the old folks worshipped them - like an Idol

Shazza and Michelle they got to be strong, yeah
They're lead into temptation down in Babylon, yeah
SMS your vote, judges decision is final
Will they one day be worshipped as an Idol?

Nebuchadnezzar thinks they're trapped forever
In a straight jacket life with a cell door future
I wonder what he sees when he looks in the mirror
