Home Among The Gumtrees

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
