Lyrics

Boomerang This is the tale of the new chum, Jack Who's just come in from the Great Outback I asked an old dark man how the boomerang came to be And he told me as only a dark fella can That they made it from a boomerang tree A boomerang, a boomerang, a boomerang tree I searched and searched but never did see That's how the boomerang came to be They made it from a boomerang tree Boomerang, boomerang, kangaroo tail Roly-poly, Birdsville Mail New chum, new chum on the trail All add up to a dark fella's tale Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport Tie me kangaroo down, sport Tie me kangaroo down Tie me kangaroo down, sport Tie me kangaroo down Watch me wallabies feed, mate Watch me wallabies feed 'Cause they're a dangerous breed, mate So watch me wallabies feed Tan me hide when I'm dead, Fred Tan me hide when I'm dead So we tanned his hide when he died, Clive And that's it hangin' on the shed All together now Tie me kangaroo down, sport Tie me kangaroo down Tie me kangaroo down, sport Tie me kangaroo down Where the Dog Sits on the Tuckerbox My Mabel waits for me Underneath the bright blue sky Where the dog sits on the tuckerbox Nine miles from Gundagai I meet her every day And I know she's dinky-dye Where the dog sits on the tuckerbox Nine miles from Gundagai I think she's bonza And she reckons I'm good-o She's such a trimmer That I've entered her for the local show, 'ey My Mabel waits for me Underneath the bright blue sky Where the dog sits on the tuckerbox Nine miles from Gundagai Nine miles from Gundagai
