I've been around the world

A couple of times

And maybe more

I've seen the sights

I've had delights

Some every foreign shore

And when my friends

All ask me

The place that I adore

I tell them right away

Give me a home among

The gumtrees

With lots of plum trees

A sheep or two

A kangaroo

A clothesline

Out the back

Verandah out the front

And an old rocking chair

You can see me in the kitchen

Cooking up a roast

Or vegemite on toast

Just you and me

A cup of tea

And later on

We'll settle down

And go out on the porch

And watch the one fats play

Give me a home among

The gumtrees

With lots of plum trees

A sheep or two

A kangaroo

A clothesline

Out the back

Verandah out the front

And an old rocking chair

There's a safeways

Up the corner

And a wood workds

Down the street

And a brand new place

They've opened up

Where they regulate the heat

I'd trade them

All tomorrow

For a little bush retreat

Where the kookaburras sing

Give me a home among

The gumtrees

With lots of plum trees

A sheep or two

A kangaroo

A clothesline

Out the back

Verandah out the front

And an old rocking chair

Some people

Like their houses build

With fences all around

Others live in mansions

And some beneath the ground

But I will be contented

'Till the day

That I have found

The place I longed to be

Give me a home among

The gumtrees

With lots of plum trees

A sheep or two

A kangaroo

A clothesline

Out the back

Verandah out the front

And an old rocking chair

Give me a home among

The gumtrees

With lots of plum trees

A sheep or two

A kangaroo

A clothesline

Out the back

Verandah out the front

And an old rocking chair

And an old rocking chair

And an old rocking chair
