You met her at a party on Saturday night
She was drinking Advocaat
Her skin was smooth
And her jeans were tight
You didn t think she d go that far
Ah well, she might have looked like a princess
[G]Why d ya have to [F#]give her [G]your [C]add[E]ress
[D] Cause you ain t safe when you get home
[E]She gonna [D]call ya on the tel[C]e[A]phone x 2
G -7-6-4---7-6-4---7-6-4-----------|
D -------7-------7-------7-5-4-----|
A -----------------------------7-5-|
Chorus:
[D[Hey boy, that s Balwyn callin x 3
[D]Get on the [C]phone, [D] till ya been [F#]stall[D]in x 2
It s just too easy when ya got to her flat
And she kicked off her platform shoes
You played around like a cat and a rat
And now you got the Balwyn blues
Well, you thought that she d be a one nighter
[G]But now she wants to [F#]squeeze [G]you [C]tight[E]er
[D] Cause you ain t safe when you get home
She gonna call ya on the telephone x 2
Chorus
She sure knows when she s got a good catch
And she just won t let go
She s been searchin for the perfect match
Her ambition with your dough
A brick veneer prison is waiting for you
[G]You just [F#]smile while [G]she turns the [D]screw
You ain t safe when you get home
She gonna call ya on the telephone x 2
Chorus
Hey boy that s Balwyn callin (quiet) x 4
Chorus
Get on the phone
And get out of Balwyn
