Well I'll bet you a kangaroo
We could all dance to a didjeridoo
Everybody's looking for something new
Bet you something old could get to you
Come on boys, give it a chance
Adelaide ladies just love to dance
Come on boys, give it a chance
All God's children just love to dance
Well I'll bet you a kangaroo
The world's been waiting for a didjeridoo
There's a new day coming and it won't be long
When we can all lean on a one-note song
Come on boys, give it a chance
London ladies just love to dance
Come on boys, give it a chance
All God's children just love to dance
Listen boys, I hear thunder
Rolling up from a way down under
There's a flash on the horizon
Like a midnight sun arising
Matilda is awaking
The world is awaiting for a song
You've been waltzing way too long
Matilda I think it's time
You did a step all of your own
You've been waltzing away too long
Matilda is awaiting
The world is awaiting for a song
Come on boys, give it a chance
Nashville ladies just love to dance
Come on boys, give it a chance,
All God's children just love to dance
I'll bet you a kangaroo
The world's been waiting for a didjeridoo
There's a new day coming and it won't be long
When we can all lean on a one-note song
Come on boys, give it a chance
Nashville ladies just love to dance
Come on boys, give it a chance
All God's children just love to dance
