I'VE BEEN AROUND
THE WORLD A
COUPLE OF TIMES OR
MAYBE MORE
I'VE SEEN THE
SIGHTS I'VE HAD THE
LIGHTS ON EVERY
FOREIGN SHORE
BUT WHEN MY MATES
ALL ASK ME THE
PLACE THAT I ADORE
I TELL THEM RIGHT
AWAY, WHAT DO WE
TELL 'EM
GIVE ME A HOME
AMONG THE GUM
TREES, WITH LOTS
OF PLUM TREES
A SHEEP OR TWO
WITH A KANGAROO, A
CLOTHES LINE OUT
THE BACK
VERANDA OUT THE
FRONT AND AN OLD
ROCKING CHAIR
YOU CAN SEE ME IN
THE KITCHEN
COOKING UP A
ROAST OR VEGEMITE
ON TOAST
JUST YOU AN' ME, A
CUP OF TEA
LATER ON WE'LL
SETTLE DOWN AND
MULL UP ON THE
PORCH, AND WATCH
THE POSSUMS PLAY
GIVE ME A HOME
AMONG THE GUM
TREES, WITH LOTS
OF PLUM TREES
A SHEEP OR TWO
WITH A KANGAROO, A
CLOTHES LINE OUT
THE BACK
VERANDA OUT THE
FRONT AND AN OLD
ROCKING CHAIR
THERE'S A
SAFEWAYS UP THE
CORNER AND A
WOOLIES DOWN
THE STREET
AND A BRAND NEW
PLACE THEY'VE
OPENED UP AND
THEY REGULATE
THE HEAT
BUT I'D TRADE THEM
ALL TOMORROW FOR
A SINGLE BUSH
RETREAT WHERE THE
KOOKABURRAS CALL
CU CU CU CU CU CU
CU KOO
GIVE ME A HOME
AMONG THE GUM
OF
PLUM TREES
A SHEEP OR TWO
WITH A KANGAROO, A
CLOTHES LINE OUT
THE BACK
VERANDA OUT THE
FRONT AND AN OLD
ROCKING CHAIR
SOME PEOPLE LIKE
THEIR HOUSES WITH
FENCES ALL AROUND
OTHERS LIVE IN
MANSIONS AN' SOME
BENEATH THE
GROUND
BUT ME I LIKE THE
BUSH YOU KNOW
WITH RABBITS
RUNNING ROUND
AND A PUMPKIN PINE
OUT THE BACK
HERE'S YOUR TURN
GIVE ME A HOME
AMONG THE GUM
TREES, WITH LOTS
OF PLUM TREES
A SHEEP OR TWO
WITH A KANGAROO, A
CLOTHES LINE OUT
THE BACK VERANDA OUT
THE FRONT AND
AN OLD ROCKING
CHAIR
GIVE ME A HOME
AMONG THE GUM
TREES, WITH LOTS
OF PLUM TREES
A SHEEP OR TWO
WITH A KANGAROO, A
CLOTHES LINE OUT
THE BACK
VERANDA OUT THE
FRONT AND AN OLD
ROCKING CHAIR
