about

A song written by Emma Peel and Danny Walsh for the inaugural Reservoir Stomp event 30 October 2016 www.facebook.com/reservoirstomp/

lyrics

There’s a whole other world past Preston
The locals know it’s not that far
Just take the tram to the End of the Line, hitch a ride or drive a car.

Then you can catch a bus to Northlands
Do a burnout in your commord-oir
But there one thing you can’t do in Reservoir and that’s call it Res-erv-wah

Uh-ahh Uh-ahh, You don’t call it Reserr-wah

You can get a good pizza down Broadway
Fish n chips right under the shark
or a boston bun at Sergeants Cakes, or a BBQ at Edwards-Lake-park

Fly-a-kite with the kids on the aths tra-ack
Pay a visit it ya dear Nonna
But there one thing you can’t do in Reservoir and that’s call it Reserv-wah

Uh-ahh Uh-ahh, You don’t call it Reserr-wah

You can sit at the lights at the Junction
For the best part of the day
Or you can wait a lifetime, until they shift the level crossing away

Shoot pool all night at Edwards Place
Fill ya donuts with Nut-ell-a
But there one thing you can’t do in Reservoir and that’s call it Reserv-wah

Ye-eh but na-ah, You don’t call it Reserr-wah

You can get away with Rez or Rezza
Even Rezzo or Resi
Send the speeding fines and Christmas cards
To Postcode 3-0-7-3

Grab a shopping trolley from the nature strip
Pick a lemon from the neighbours’ tree
And buy a pile of stuff from the Tip Shop that you’re never gonna need

You can pay your respects to the Buddha
Or maybe find a cheap boudoir
But there one thing you can’t do in Reservoir and that’s call it Reserv-wah
Uh-ahh Uh-ahh, You don’t call it Reserr-wah
Well everybody’s welcome
and they sure come from near and far
But the residents respectfully request that you don’t call it Reserv-wah

Yeh the only thing you can’t do in Reservoir….is call it Reserv-wah!
