She was drinking Advocaat
Her skin was smooth
And her jeans were tight
You didn't think she'd go that far
Ah well, she might have looked like a princess
GWhy'd ya have to giF#ve her your GaddressC  E  
D'Cause you ain't safe when you get home
EShe gonna caDll ya on the telephonCeA

DIt's just too easy when ya got to her flat
And she kicked off her platform shoes
You played around like a cat and a rat
And now you got the Balwyn blues
Well, you thought that she'd be a one nighter
GBut now she wants to squF#eeze you GtighteCrE  
D'Cause you ain't safe when you get home
She gonna call ya on the telephone              x2

[Verse 3]
DShe sure knows when she's got a good catch
And she just won't let go
She's been searchin' for the perfect match
Her ambition with your dough
A brick veneer prison is waiting for you
GYou just smF#ile while she Gturns the screwD  
You ain't safe when you get home
She gonna call ya on the telephone              x2
[Chorus]
DHey boy, that's Balwyn callin'
DHey boy, that's Balwyn callin'
DHey boy, that's Balwyn callin'

DGet on the phoCne, and dDo a bit of stalliF#n'D  
Hey boy that's Balwyn callin' (quiet)   x4
[Chorus]
DHey boy, that's Balwyn callin'
DHey boy, that's Balwyn callin'
DHey boy, that's Balwyn callin'
DGet on the phoCne, and dDo a bit of stalliF#n'D  
DGet on the phoCne, and dDo a bit of stalliF#n'D  
Get on the phone
And get out of Balwyn
