[Verse 1]

Here’s a hotel that’s the heart o’ town.

Everyone you know’s been kicking around,

at the Cranker.

[Verse 2]

The best live music in Adelaide.

If ya photo’s in the Spoz blog ya’ve got it made,

at the Cranker.

[Verse 3]

High ball, pinball, pool table, 8-ball.

Spaghetti, graffiti, WOOO!, they’ve got it all,

at the Cranker.

[Verse 4]

Darts, plastic chairs, and co-me-dy; 

A living breathing culture since eighteen fifty three.

(Crown and Anchor)

It’s the Cranker.

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Heritage, culture, community.

This is about you and me.

We march for love, hands off our pub.

Best pub in town, don’t tear it down.

[INSTRUMENTAL VERSE WITH SOLO]

[Verse 5]

Developers have blown in from out’o’ town,

Bought our pub, wanna raise it to the ground,

(Crown and Anchor)

And kill the Cranker.

[Verse 6]

This city relies on our social hubs.

It will never recover if you demolish this pub.

(Crown and Anchor)

Save the Cranker!

[Pre-Chorus 2]

It’s a failed political situation,

for uni accommodation.

It's already home to students, needs no development,

Where’s the action from the government?!

[Chorus]

Stand up, shout it, louder. Save the Cranker.

Shout it, louder. Save the Cranker.

Shout it, louder. Save the Cranker.

Shout it, louder....Save the Cranker.

Here’s a hotel that’s the heart o’ town. [BREATHE]

Everyone you know’s been kicking around,

It’s the Cranker.

[Verse 6 repeated]

This city relies on our social hubs.

It will never recover if you demolish this pub.

(Crown and Anchor)

Save the Cranker!

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Heritage, culture, community.

This is about you and me.

We march for love, hands off our pub.

Best pub in town, don’t tear it down.

[Chorus]

Stand up, shout it, louder. Save the Cranker.

Shout it, louder. Save the Cranker.

Shout it, louder. Save the Cranker.

Shout it, louder. Save the Cranker.

Shout it, louder. Save the Cranker.

Shout it, louder. Save the Cranker.

Shout it, louder. Save the Cranker.

Shout it, louder....Save the Cranker.
