I've been around the world a dozen times or maybe more I've seen the sights and had delights on every foreign shore But when my frinds all ask of me the place that I adore I tell them right away
Give me a home amongst the gum trees With lots of plum trees A sheep or two a kangaroo A clothes line out the back veranda out the front And an old rocking chair
We'll be standing in the kitchen Cooking up a roast Vegemimite on toast Just me and you and a cockatoo And after tea we'll settle down Beside the hitching post And watch the wombats play
There's a safeway on the corner and a woolworths down the street And a new ones just been opened where they regulate the heat But I'd trade them all tomorrow for a simple bush retreat Where Kookaburra's sing
Some people like there houses builot with fences all around Others live in mansions or in bunkers under ground But I wontbe content untill the day that I have found The place I long to be
