Lyrics

[00:08.55] There's nothing like heading up the road
[00:10.69] To where we've never been
[00:12.79] Emu birds smell new smells
[00:14.97] See things we've never seen
[00:16.85] And it's all rolled up
[00:17.91] And tied right down
[00:18.93] So the load cannot shift
[00:20.98] 'cause Murphy's law'll never fail
[00:23.20] And things will come adrift
[00:29.61] Down dusty roads trusty friends
[00:31.53] Were headed without a care
[00:33.61] To Frangipani Bay
[00:35.86] Way, way up there
[00:46.13] Now there's more to Darcy Gollum than meets the eye
[00:50.53] He's built bridges, gravel roads
[00:52.52] He even used to fly
[00:54.45] With a standcaster, kinda bashed
[00:56.48] Brim over the nose
[00:58.68] Cigarette growing on his lip
[01:00.71] Our leader, I suppose
[01:07.28] Through the mozzie net I see
[01:09.15] The stars are still abright
[01:11.31] The carpenter bird is hammerin'
[01:13.31] the mozzies cannot bite
[01:15.27] I smell the coffee's on
[01:17.57] Rod's keen to catch a fish
[01:19.56] a big juicy baramundi
[01:21.58] We wish, we wish, we wish!
[01:27.87] Down dusty roads trusty friends
[01:30.12] Were headed without a care
[01:32.08] To Frangipani Bay
[01:34.28] Way, way up there
[01:53.06] Of course the girls are with us
[01:55.21] They didn't have a choice
[01:57.15] They're resigned to the fact
[01:59.30] That boys will be boys
[02:01.19] But we wouldn't go without 'em
[02:03.41] And they wouldn't stay behind
[02:05.64] Three good cooks with real good looks
[02:07.70] Are very hard to find!
[02:13.86] Down dusty roads trusty friends
[02:15.96] Were headed without a care
[02:17.88] To Frangipani Bay
[02:20.17] Way, way up there
