Tism - The Mordialloc Road Duplicator lyrics

rate me

I was born in the emergency lane

Of a 6-lane German autobahn

The opening of the first 8 lane fly-over

Was my old father's favourite yarn

I'd knew that I'd be, sooner or later

The famous Mordialloc Road duplicator.

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

One day all the way to Portsea

It'll be all big divided freeways

There'll be turn offs to Tootgarook

Cranbourne, Frankston and Five Ways

The whole peninsula will be my crater

I'm the Mordialloc Road duplicator.

All you people on Christmas vacation

Here is the reason for jubilation:

There ain't no better road works in the nation

Than the Mordialloc Road duplication.
