[Verse 1]
Meet me down by the jetty landing
Where the pontoons bump and spray
All the others reading, standing
As the Manly Ferry cuts its way to Circular Quay

[Verse 2]
Hear the captain blow his whistle
So long, she's been away
I miss our early morning wrestle
Not a very happy way to start the day

[Pre-Chorus]
She don't like that kind of behaviour
She don't like that kind of behaviour, so

[Chorus]
Throw down your guns, don't be so reckless
Throw down your guns, don't be so

[Verse 3]
Feel like Scott of the Antarctic
Base camp too far away
A Russian sub beneath the Arctic
Burke and Wills and camels, initials in the tree
[Pre-Chorus]
She don't like that kind of behaviour
She don't like that kind of behaviour, so

[Chorus]
Throw down your guns, don't be so reckless
Throw down your guns, don't be so reckless

[Pre-Chorus]
She don't like that kind of behaviour
She don't like that kind of behaviour, so

[Chorus]
Throw down your guns, don't be so reckless
Throw down your guns, don't be so reckless
Throw down your guns, don't be so reckless
Throw down your guns, don't be so reckless

[Outro]
Don't be so
Reckless
Don't you be so
Reckless
Don't be so
Reckless
