We came from far across the world.
Some people called us picky.
That’s why we turned our boat around –
They’d painted over Mickey!
Our lives, so full of turmoil,
Were precarious and tricky.
The risk just wasn’t worth it though –
They’d painted over Mickey!
I’d hoped to get myself a job:
A painter, or a bricky.
I realised my dream was dust –
They’d painted over Mickey!
The government are onto us!
They’ve made our wicket sticky.
They thought we take advantage
So they went and took the Mickey!
