Frankie Davidson - Have You Ever Been To See Kings Cross Lyrics

If you think you've done some travellin', like to say you've been around
That you've seen the sights of Paris or the heart of London town
You might say you dined in Soho, would be mighty hard to toss
Well let me tell you boy, that you just ain't lived until you've seen King's Cross

Have you ever been to see King's Cross where Sydney-siders meet
There's a million faces goin' places, walkin' up and down the street
Why tourists everywhere in their troubles do declare
I've seen the world, you can hear 'em cry and I'll bet you a tenna to a conman's why
You won't have seen the lot until the day you die if you haven't been to see King's Cross

Now let's take the eatin' houses that you find along the way
You might like to dine with a glass of wine or a serve of shrimp by day
Well you can try a spot downunder, you get a three course for a zack
And you can write your will as you pay the bill just in case you don't get back

Have you ever been to see King's Cross where Sydney-siders meet
There's a million faces goin' places, walkin' up and down the street
Why tourists everywhere in their troubles do declare
I've seen the world, you can hear 'em cry and I'll bet you a tenna to a conman's why
You won't have seen the lot until the day you die if you haven't been to see King's Cross

You've got a list of spots to see and you'd like to spend some dough
So you tell the taxi driver just where you'd like to go
You might do a tour of Sydney when in fact it's on the cards
That the place your saw when you climbed aboard is at the road a hundred yards

Have you ever been to see King's Cross where Sydney-siders meet
There's a million faces goin' places, walkin' up and down the street
Why tourists everywhere in their troubles do declare
I've seen the world, you can hear 'em cry and I'll bet you a tenna to a conman's why
You won't have seen the lot until the day you die if you haven't been to see King's Cross

So if you're a weary traveller and you think you've seen the lot,
Well take my tip and make the trip while the money you've still got,
And in later conversation you'll never be at loss
Cause you can tell them all that you had a ball
When you went to see King's Cross.

Have you ever been to see King's Cross where Sydney-siders meet
There's a million faces goin' places, walkin' up and down the street
Why tourists everywhere in their troubles do declare
I've seen the world, you can hear 'em cry and I'll bet you a tenna to a conman's why
You won't have seen the lot until the day you die if you haven't been to see King's Cross

No, you won't have seen the lot until the day you die
If you haven't been to see King's Cross...
