Since The Bushland Boogie Came This Way

Lyrics

Oh de ley ooh de ley oh de ley dee Oh, the gumtrees at the seven mile Swing and sway in the boogie style The reed beds in the river sweep and sway And the possums hop around in glee And dingos howl in an off E-key Since the Bushland Boogie came around this way Now the swaggy jumped up from the hedge Rushed to the parson, signed the pledge And even threw his bottles all away For just outside his old bark shack A lazy old wombats ballin' the Jack Since thе Bushland Boogie came around this way Oh de lеy ooh de ley oh de ley dee There's farmer Greys old jersey cow Strutting around the cow yard now She swings her hips in a stately minuet And the old man sits on the cow yard rail Banging his pipe on and empty pale Since the Bushland Boogie came around this way For his old grey mere and neighbours hack Cleared out together to the great outback To join the frolics where the brumbies play Everyone gets around with a jig and prance And dreams about the old barn dance Since the Bushland Boogie came around this way Oh de ley ooh de ley oh de ley dee Now a fella coming home from the local pub Took another look, gave his eyes a rub And very smartly gave the booze away He swears by everything that's true He saw an emu jazzing with a kangaroo And the magpies whistled in the boogie-woogie way Oh, the gumtrees at the seven mile Swing and sway in the boogie style And the reed beds in the river sweep and sway Everyone gets around with a jig and prance And dreams about the old barn dance Since the Bushland Boogie came around this way Oh de ley ooh de ley oh de ley dee
