lyrics

In a place not many know
There’s a town no one goes called Fevernall.
This story’s told in passing country-wide,
About the mountain locals try to climb.
 
A mountaineer discovered this town hall
His name: sir General Frederick Arthur Whitman
His titles, he did earn
By going where no man had gone before.
 
If it weren’t for Arthur Whitman
This essay would not be written.
 
Accompanied by his companions
They strode confidently up into the clouds and didn’t turn around and
Discovered what became Fevernall.
 
We owe it all to them,
Whitman and his companions.
 
Little is known about the man
Who helped our Fred find this land
I guess he’s dead.
But Whitman himself is still alive yet ill
An outspoken member of the town council
 
And in his days he fought in rings.
Could never afford nice things.
Stubborn like my toe, he is my hero
Who made it through the snow
And the adventurer in everybody
 
Someday we’ll make it out of school shorts
Get muscles like our Dad’s
Break in a brumby
Do it on a Sunday.
They’ll never know that we’ve run away
We’ll turn out just like them
Whitman and his companions
 
I’m saying it as fast as I can
(I’m out of time)
