[C]
[G] I have [C] told you of aristocrat and [G] good old Rocky Neb Their names will be remembered long
after [C] they are dead They've thrown the best of writers the greatest
of all time but now I'll tell you all [G] about this new [C] outlaw of [A] mine
[C] We used to call him Slippery [G] when he came with the show
But I changed his name to Mandrake, there's no [C] trick he don't know
He tries a new one every [F] night, he never [C] bucks the same
Mandrake is a wizard, [G] so that's how [C] he got his name
Screw down the saddle, [F] make it good and tight
[Am] Back [C] from the ropes, please ask [G] him is he right
[C] Pick up your mate [F] lads, he had a nasty fall
[C] They're all [G] the same, the Mandrake [C] champions and all
Now all you local riders, come [G] here and gather
Stay on his back ten seconds, I'll pay [C] a hundred pounds
The champion of Queensland got on to ride him round
He rode him just two [D] seconds, one up, one [C] coming down
A fella came in the other [G] night to show what he could do
He thought that he'd be clever, so he painted his [C] pants with glue
Mandrake threw him [F] easily, he says, [C] huh, I don't mind
[F] I said, old [C] chap, take a look at [G] yourself, you've left [C] your pants behind
Screw down the saddle, [F] make it good and [C] tight
Back from the ropes, please ask [G] him is he right
[C] Pick up your mate [F] lads, he had a nasty fall
[C] They're all the [Em] same, the [D] Mandrake champions [C] and all
A new chum went up to the [G] boys just the other night
Mandrake got mixed up in the ropes and gave him a heck [C] of a fright
Hey, what'll I do if Orsky's [D] out of ring, I heard him say
Well, you jump into the ring then, pal, and you'll be [C] quite okay
I have a little saying, [G] it's one you ought to know
It's always been the motto of my travelling [C]
