Boyhood heroes are perfect
Kids hang on their every word
I want to be like him
When I grow up
John Peck was my first
Big number twenty three
Hawthorn's Full Forward
He was a great goal kicker
Barry Waddell won Sun Tours
I got his autograph
During the Sun Tour of '64
Outside the Donald Post Office
Ron Clarke could run
Held many World records
I loved to run cross countries
I WAS Ron Clarke then
Ray Maddocks the principal
He always understood
Three years in Donald
Left a great impression
Peter Hudson what a guy
Could he kick a ball
From anywhere on the ground
Straight through the middle
Fammo Johnny Famechon
World Boxing Champion
Put Harada through the ropes
He barracked for Hawthorn too
Francis Robert O'Shea was a cop
Coached the under sixteens
When they were the greatest
Great backyard cricketer
Elvis the pelvis
We sang at all his movies
He was so cool
I wanted to look like him
As I grew older
The heroes changed
Horizons broaden
The boring became interesting
There was Gough Whitlam
Ground breaking Prime Minister
John Curtin another PM
Led us through the War
Sport is never far away
Dermott Brereton was king
Dean Jones and Shane Warne
We will always have heroes
Childhood Heros
