about

Mangalore is small town 40km north of Hobart. Bagdad is only 7km further up the Midland Highway, but the speed limit between the towns is 80km/h. It feels really slow, but there's lots of cool stuff to look at. Like the Bagdad Online Access Centre and a phone box in a paddock.

lyrics

Lord, Lord, Mangalore, you take your time
Lord, Lord, Mangalore, you take your time
Hey! Ho! Here we go!
Midland Highway, moving slow
Lord, Lord, Mangalore, you take your time

You can feel the paddocks grow
(In your own sweet time)
You can hear the cattle low
(In your own sweet time)
You can feel the paddocks grow
You can hear the cattle low
You can race the tractors! Oh!

Lord, Lord, Mangalore, you take your time
Lord, Lord, Mangalore, you take your time
Hey! Ho! Here we go!
Midland Highway, moving slow
Lord, Lord, Mangalore, you take your time

Bagdad down the road
(In your own sweet time)
Wheels are turning slow
(In your own sweet time)
Bagdad down the road
Only seven ks to go
That means seven minutes! Oh!

Take a breath and let it go
Cottages and mansion homes
Cruise past Ballyhooly Road
Up past Sunnyside and over
Constitution Hill. Oh!

Lord, Lord, Mangalore, you take your time
Lord, Lord, Mangalore, you take your time
Hey! Ho! Here we go!
Midland Highway, moving slow
Lord, Lord, Mangalore, you take your time
Lord, Lord, Mangalore, you take your time
And that's alright
