I want to sing about Christchurch, but I don't know what to say
We don't have many tall buildings, most of the suburbs feel the same.
The city's seen so much, the quakes, the hills that set aflame,
So much has happened in old Christchurch, and there's one thing we can blame.

Lyttleton to Riccarton, Ilam to Hoon Hay,
New Brighton's got him smiling, he'll cause you a world of pain.
He's a slimy little creature won't go back from whence he came,
Some say before he caused the quakes, he let out David Bain.

He's the Goblin, he's the Goblin of Christchurch,
He's the Goblin, he'll knock down your cardboard church
He'll cause you strife, he'll crash your car, might even steal your wife.
He's the Goblin, the Goblin of Christchurch.

When I first heard about the goblin, I thought it can't be true,
Believing in these monsters, was something I outgrew.
But it happened in the port hills, he caught me unaware
He grabbed me by the collar, and he whispered in my ear.

Hello I'm pleased to meet you, I'm a goblin from that cave
Yes I'm a naughty little creature and Christchurch I have saved,
From being an old town that is a boring place to be.
Shaking up this city really fills me with such glee

He's the Goblin, he's the Goblin of Christchurch,
He's the Goblin, he'll knock down your cardboard church
He'll cause you strife, he'll crash your car, might even steal your wife.
He's the Goblin, the Goblin of Christchurch.

So when the night is darkest, you must think this song,
And heed my fearful warning, of the things that can go wrong
I tried to tell the media, they didn't wanna see my proof
Chris Lynch was on his pay roll, he's never cared about the truth

Anti-vaxxers blamed Jacinda, Bishop Brian blamed the gays
We know it is the Goblin whos deserving of our rage.
So grab your torch and pitchforks boys, we're going on a hunt
This city cannot rest until we've spilled the Goblin's blood

He's the Goblin, he's the Goblin of Christchurch,
He's the Goblin, he'll knock down your cardboard church
He'll cause you strife, he'll crash your car, might even steal your wife.
He's the Goblin, the Goblin of Christchurch.
He's the Goblin, he's the Goblin of Christchurch,
He's the Goblin, he'll knock down your cardboard church
He'll cause you strife, he'll crash your car, might even steal your wife.
He's the Goblin, the Goblin of Christchurch.
He's the Goblin, he's the Goblin of Christchurch,
He's the Goblin, he'll knock down your cardboard church
He'll cause you strife, he'll crash your car, might even steal your wife.
He's the Goblin, the Goblin of Christchurch.
