He gets his hair cut at Marini's And he drives a Lamborghini The finest thing that ever walked this earth His flat is just divine He buys yoghurt and buys wine A million dollars is what he's worth Chorus Well he's a village playboy Toorak cowboy yes he is Well he's a village playboy Toorak cowboy yes he is He dyes all his grey ends And he's got lottsa gay friends He is twenty-nine if he's a day And he wears tinted glasses And his girls have got tight arses And if he's camp he wouldn't like to say Chorus He'll be at the supper show on Friday night Goes once a month just to make it look right At interval he'll say the movie's a drag As he gets a cigarette from his leather shoulder bag Chorus Well he bought his first dope outside the South Yarra Arms A whole matchbox full in his hot little palms Nineteen Sixty-Eight and the scene was cool And all of his friends knew that he wasn't a fool He knows the antique dealers And all those other stealers I'll be glad when he goes overseas My friends he don't do nothin' He just ain't got no stuffin' He's just another social disease Chorus Well he's a village playboy Toorak cowboy yes he is
these are the only songs that depict the classic melbourne and a socially correct period kind of reminds me of masonry back then ie supper show and other things depicted in other songs great band and theme i never get sick of this band shame they dis banded
@@adelaidedupont9017 thanks for the reply well its the seventies alls normal and simple i still havnt heard any group describe the social scene of the seventis or melbourne in such a straight foward and true to life way
Just love the guitar work on this song
Another good Aussie song by Skyhooks.
Skyhooks guitars - excellent!
The Great Skyhooks and the genus that is Greg Macainsh.
Way under-rated band. Keep the Bee Gee's and even AC/DC, I'll take Skyhooks.
Love your sentiment. But Skyhooks...........Underrated????? Youve got to be joking.
A band with a song “Straight in a Gay, Gay World “ belongs in the Rock and Roll hall of fame.
About the gay scene in Melbourne I believe. Great song with funny lyrics.
greg macainsh genius what a band
Unreal!
He gets his hair cut at Marini's
And he drives a Lamborghini
The finest thing that ever walked this earth
His flat is just divine
He buys yoghurt and buys wine
A million dollars is what he's worth
Chorus
Well he's a village playboy
Toorak cowboy yes he is
Well he's a village playboy
Toorak cowboy yes he is
He dyes all his grey ends
And he's got lottsa gay friends
He is twenty-nine if he's a day
And he wears tinted glasses
And his girls have got tight arses
And if he's camp he wouldn't like to say
Chorus
He'll be at the supper show on Friday night
Goes once a month just to make it look right
At interval he'll say the movie's a drag
As he gets a cigarette from his leather shoulder bag
Chorus
Well he bought his first dope outside the South Yarra Arms
A whole matchbox full in his hot little palms
Nineteen Sixty-Eight and the scene was cool
And all of his friends knew that he wasn't a fool
He knows the antique dealers
And all those other stealers
I'll be glad when he goes overseas
My friends he don't do nothin'
He just ain't got no stuffin'
He's just another social disease
Chorus
Well he's a village playboy
Toorak cowboy yes he is
Molly Meldrum lol
One for boy George
Song about Molly.
One for Molly Meldrum I think
I was thinking the same... So many relevant lyrics
these are the only songs that depict the classic melbourne and a socially correct period kind of reminds me of masonry back then ie supper show and other things depicted in other songs great band and theme i never get sick of this band shame they dis banded

Sam Newman???
All these speculations! "Playboy" and "Cowboy".
I reckon it is about a gay man. perhaps Molly?
