The Melbourne Wave

The Melbourne Wave lyrics

Hear that familiar 'Ding'? Better watch out for the Tram Got a funny Hook Turn in this city traffic jam You wait there in the left lane to make a right-hand move It's a strange kind of logic a chaotic kind of groove So raise a finger off the wheel give a little Wave It's the unwritten rule the Courtesy we save Through the dusty Windscreen or the rear-view Mirror Keeps the whole crazy commute just a little bit clearer There's a tall-sided Truck looking lost and misled Staring at the Clearance sign on Monty Bridge with dread And when the lanes combine it's a Zipper Merge ballet You let one person in that's the Melbourne way So raise a finger off the wheel give a little Wave It's the unwritten rule the Courtesy we save Through the dusty Windscreen or the rear-view Mirror Keeps the whole crazy commute just a little bit clearer This is more than just a habit it's a living Legacy A small Tradition that we hold for all to see We've gotta Teach the coming Generation how it's done A little bit of kindness underneath the southern sun So raise a finger off the wheel give a little Wave It's the unwritten rule the Courtesy we save Through the dusty Windscreen or the rear-view Mirror Keeps the whole crazy commute just a little bit clearer Yeah... give 'em a wave.
