This wasn't a new gig, but the rules had changed …  Any brat with a butane lighter  Could pull a burning bush stunt;  Talking in tongues? Nah, spin doctors  And Hollywood had that tied up …  Wizards, crystal balls, hot gospellers, witch doctors ..  You name it, every brand of vaporware had a patent        pending.  Stumpy always had his eye on the main chance  So when a gawky kid from Winhope City  Lobbed in for petrol, driving this purple hoon van  That had enough  aerials to eavesdrop on World War III,  Stumpy shouted him a milkshake  And wondered aloud what was hot on CB right now  For the truckies and road-rats down Peace Highway.
