Benalla's Heartbeat
Standing here on Mair Street
Gazing at the bridge, lake and muralsWhat a way to leave or great
Lets turn north and head uptownBetcha there will be mates to meet
Stolz in an option a bit to seeNow they have Telstra hard to compete
Across the road coffee to go
White, two lumps I like it sweetYoung'uns walk past heads turned down
Doing something they call tweetNewsagency next winning post and best bets
Go through the form losers we deleteOber the highway t the hairdresser
I know Davo will cut it neatMillers on the corner an institution
Plenty of choice to look complete
Can't go past the bedding shop krissie smilesShe'll sell anything to cover with a sheet
Paul Rettke's mob are always on the goTheir snags won gold medals what a feat
I think I have run out of rhymeBi lo bottle shop I deserve a treat
