In Booralee Park, he shared his Dalwood claret 
Watching trucks rattle off to the markets 
As the moon hung above it's weary smile 
Behind the beaming clock at Felton Textile 
 
Repeat Chorus 
 
B A G 
   From Central Platform Number4 
B A G 
   Amongst the slammin of the rail yard doors 
B A G 
   Safe from the blood of the workshop floor 
B A G 
     Why can't you be happy 
D A G 
      Why can't you be happy 
D A G    F# E(open 6th string)   Em G A 
      Why can't you be happy  
 
Roll the Ruby the taste of nicotine 
Wash the taste away don't waste the kerosine 
Inside every flicker every year is shown 
And when the ash falls let it burn you to the bone 
 
Down by Luna Park its never ever dark 
And from the swaying pier you can watch the rattlers spark 
I took a girl once we rode the Big Dipper 
I thought she was my Cinderella but she couldn't fit the slipper 
 
Repeat Chorus 
 
Ruben Tracey I know him well 
He drinks shandy at the Cauliflower Hotel 
Raise your glass crack a smile 
He could've worked thirty years at Felton Textiles
