Turn the houselights down
The audience is seated
What’s going to hit this town tonight
Will never be repeated
They’ve dome from all around the joint
To try and be the best
At the Annual Bimbi Amateur Talent Quest
They planned to use the local hall
to stage the big event
But in the end they had to hire
a great big canvas tent
The problem was the hall burned down
at the last big B & S
But that didn’t stop the Bimbi Talent Quest
CHORUS
Two bucks a ticket
and the kids got in for free
It was quite a big event
for the little town of Bimbi
Everyone who fronted up
declared it a success
And it’s my bet they won’t forget
the Bimbi Talent Quest
The backing band were local lads
together for the night
They found it hard to play by ear
And they couldn’t play by sight
They may have all played out of tune
but no one was distressed
Toes were tapping at the Bimbi Talent Quest
They had a draw for the lucky door
and it came as a surprise
That one of the local clergymen
was the one who scored the prize.
Now what he’ll do with a case of
scotch is anybody’s guess
But he was glad he came to the Bimbi Talent Quest
A local bloke who’s got a name
for being quite a wag
Did a rather saucy song dressed
head to to in drag
Alfie Dunk, the local drunk, was
really quite impressed
And followed him home from the Bimbi Talent Quest
The bloke who won the contest
was the bloke the judges chose
He came from out Thuddungra
played a gum leaf with his nose
We were a bit suspicious he was
chosen as the best
Coz his mother judged the Bimbi Talent Quest
