Melbourne Song

I think I'll head up north again
Maybe get back when, the weather's fine
And you are mine
And you will be like the gentle breeze
And we will live with ease
I've never been out west you know
But I might go there, just to share
A drink or two, with some friends I knew
It's you that I love, I can't get enough
And I'll get back to you
If you want me to
I've never been to Mexico
But I might just buy a sombrero
Get up and go
Lie around in the sun
Till evening comes, and we'll cruise into town
And throw tequilas down
I think I'll buy a panel van, hug the coast
Maybe get a tan, get stuck behind a caravan
The land was stripped bare
Just nothin' there, so we headed down
Back to Melbourne town
Said I don't know why
I don't know why, I always stay here
It's you that I love, I can't get enough
And I'll get back to you
If you want me to
