[Verse 1]
At the front bar
Sticky floor
Cheap jugs
Old mate leans in
Says he’s got a “rip-snorter” for the boys
(yeah, right)

Got that grin on
Breath like warm goon
Drops his “joke”
Like it’s clever
Like it’s cool

[Pre-Chorus]
Couple blokes chuckle
Couple heads turn
One girl stares holes
You can feel the burn

[Chorus]
Oi mate
That’s not funny
That’s just lazy as
If you need to punch down
You’re the joke
Ya mad
We can take the piss
Still keep our mates respected
Crack a line that lands
Doesn’t leave the room offended
Oi mate
That’s not funny
That’s just busted
Aye
Be better with your banter
Or just walk away

[Verse 2]
He goes “relax
Love”
Starts rolling his eyes
Blames “PC gone mad”
Like it’s some big crime

But your sister cops it
And your mum does too
Would you laugh that loud
If the punchline’s you?

[Pre-Chorus]
Bar goes quiet
Footy on mute
Even the barmaid
Gives a “watch it
Dude”

[Chorus]
Oi mate
That’s not funny
That’s just lazy as
If you need to punch down
You’re the joke
Ya mad
We can take the piss
Still keep our mates respected
Crack a line that lands
Doesn’t leave the room offended
Oi mate
That’s not funny
That’s just busted
Aye
Be better with your banter
Or just walk away

[Bridge]
We’re still takin’ the mickey (hey!)
Still talkin’ a bit of trash
But not at the ones
Who already cop it hard
That’s rash

Lift the bar
Not your ego
Got a brain
Then use it
Bro
Best laughs hit clever
Not cheap
Not low

[Chorus]
Oi mate
That’s funny
When it’s sharp
Not cruel
When everyone’s laughing
No one feels the fool
Yeah
We’ll take the piss
But we’ll keep our mates protected
Crack a line that lands
Leaves the whole pub connected
Oi mate
That’s funny
That’s the Aussie way
Have a laugh together
Not drive ’em away
