When I was in school,
I used to smoke in the bogs
Work out how to make as much money as snogs,
The dullness for losers and you needs for flogs,
And that's why I became a train,
When wearing high-vis what you want you just do,
Went right throughout covid with no mask it's true,
Did it just to shit off the people like you,
And that's why I became a tradie.

Tradies get the ladies man,
Tradies get the ladies,
I've got a tool belt and a tan,
Tradies get the ladies.

We care for all others say only those who most easily afford it,
Just like their new jewels and negative gearing and posh private schools,
And that's why I became a tradie.d

Casinos, CEOs, Scott Morrison, all of them pretending,
To be as selfless as nuns,
But deep down they look after all number one,
And that's why I became a tradie.

Betraying my comrades, oh fuck man, as if,
Class solidarity is just a myth,
You haven't met the fuckwits I work with,
That's not why I am a tradie.
You shouldn't agree with all I say you freak,
You can't trust the persona that you're hearing speak,
Why must I explain this literary technique,
I'm just a dumb freaking tradie.

Tradies get the ladies, mate,
Tradies get the ladies, don't you just irritate,
All my sins and ex-culpates,
I think it is fucking great,
You go off and masturbate,
You can't argue it is fate,
The Tradies get the ladies.
