Livin' It Up (In The Territory)
Recorded by COAD SISTERS. Released March 2022.
Written by Virginia Hermel (C) APRA/AMCOS
(Solo/Intro)
Rocking up the Stuart on the northern run
Heading to the heat of the tropical sun
Got the esky in the back, sunscreen on my face,
I couldn't be going to a better place,
Chorus
Yeah it’s alright, alright,
Living my life in the old NT,
Yes it's alright, alright
Got everything I need in the Territory (yeah)
(Solo)
A mate got a job out at the mine,
Don't care if it’s hot in the summertime
The locals know the drill, the local vibe
Hanging out for the weekend on Territory time,
Chorus
It’s alright, alright,
Livin' my life in the old NT,
Yes it's alright, alright
Got everything I need in the Territory (yeah)
(solo)
From Darwin to Katherine and Alice Springs
This ancient landscape speaks to me,
I've travelled the country east to the west
But I'm heading to the place I love the best!
Chorus
Yeah it’s alright, alright,
Living my life in the old NT,
Yes it's alright, alright
Got everything I need in the Territory (yeah)
Spoken....
C'mon everybody help us out here,
We got a little bit of singin' to do
and it's quite simple, you only gotta sing,
Livin' it up in the Territory, here we go...
1,2,3,4,....
(Sing)
Livin' it up in the Territory,
Livin' it up in the Territory, (yeah)
Livin' it up in the Territory,
Livin' it up, Livin' it up,
Chorus
Yeah it’s alright, alright,
Living my life in the old NT,
Yes it's alright, alright
Got everything I need in the Territory
Chorus
Yeah it’s alright, alright,
Living my life in the old NT,
Yes it's alright, alright
Got everything I need in the Territory
(Solo/end)
