Home Among The Gum Tree's | |
I've been around the world a couple of times, or maybe more, | |
I've seen the sights, I've had delights on every foreign shore, | |
but when my mates all ask me the place that I adore, | |
I tell them right away. | |
Give me a home among the gum trees, | |
with lots of plum trees, a sheep or two, a ka-kangaroo. | |
A clothes line out the back, verandah 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 and me, a cup of tea. | |
And 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, a ka-kangaroo. | |
A clothes line out the back, verandah out the front, | |
and an old rocking chair. | |
There's a Safeway up the corner, and a Wooly’s down the street, | |
a brand new place theyve opened up where they regulate the heat, | |
but I'd trade them all tomorrow for a simple bush retreat | |
where the kookaburras call. | |
Give me a home among the gum trees, | |
with lots of plum trees, a sheep or two, a ka-kangaroo. | |
A clothes line out the back, verandah out the front, | |
and an old rocking chair. | |
Some people like their houses with fences all around, | |
others live in mansions, and some beneath the ground. | |
But Me, I like the bush, you know with rabbits running 'round, | |
and a pumpkin vine out the back. | |
Give me a home among the gum trees, | |
with lots of plum trees, a sheep or two, a ka-kangaroo. | |
A clothes line out the back, verandah 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, a ka-kangaroo. | |
A clothes line out the back, verandah out the front, | |
and an old rocking chair. |
