Hutt Valley California

(Homage to 1980s Lower Hutt, sung to the tune of Hotel California)

On the dark and deserted High Street, cool beer in my hand
Warm smell of exhaust smoke, rising up through the air
At the Golden Eagle, I saw a shimmering mullet
My eyes grew heavy and my sight grew dim, another Hutt Valley night

Shazza stood in the doorway, dancing to ACDC’s Hells Bells
And I was thinking to myself, she’s wearing a lot of tassles
Then she lit up a doobie and she showed me the way
There were bogans down the corridor, thought I heard them say

Welcome to Hutt Valley California
Such a lovely place, with crushed velvet and lace
Plenty of hoons at Hutt Valley California
Any time of year, DB beer is here

Wainui Hill Road is steep and twisted, with too many bends
Your Escort will be lucky to reach the top when packed with all your friends
How they drink at the Angus and the Bellevue Hotel
Some do donuts on the riverbank, some get obsessed with Led Zep

So I called up the barman, Please bring me some wine
He said: We haven’t had that poncy shit here since 1979
And still those bogans are calling from Stokes Valley
Revving up in the middle of the night, thought I heard them say

Welcome to Hutt Valley California
Late night Thursdays, are the only days
Where you can live it up at Hutt Valley California
Purple tie dye, black jersey paradise

Stairway to Heaven posters on the ceiling, Pink Chardon on ice
And Shazza said, we are all just driving around with our fluffy dice
And at the auto wreckers, they have a fish n chip feast
They stab their Holdens with their screwdrivers
But they just can’t kill “the beast”

Last thing I remember, I was running for the train
I had to find the passage back before they shut the door
Relax, said the train guard, We are programmed to believe
You can move to Wellington any time you like
But you can never leave!

If you ever get married I want this song as your first dance

There actually is a Hutt Valley California. It's a garden centre.
