I've been around the world a couple of time or maybe more
I've seen the sights, I've had delights on very foreing shore
But when my mates all ask me the place yhat adore
I tell them tight away...

Give me a home among the gumtrees
With lots of plum trees
A sheep of two and a kangaroo
A clothes line out the back
A verandah out the front
And an old rocking cjair

You can see me in the kitchen cooking up a roast
Or Vegemite on toast, just you and me and a cup of tea
And later on we'll settle down and mull up on the porch
And watch the possums play

There's a Safeway on the corner, a Woolworths downthe street
A New World's just been openedwhere they regulate the heat
But I'd trade them all tomorrow for a simple bush retreat
Where the Kookaburras call...

Some people like their houses with fences all around
Others live in mansions, and some beneath the ground
Me, I love the bush you know with rabbits running 'round
And a pumpkin vine out the back
