Home among the gum trees

I've been around the world
A couple of times or maybe more
I've seen the sights I've had delights
On every foreign shore,
But when my friends all ask me
The place what I adore
I tell them right away.

Chorus:
Give me a home among the gum trees,
With a lot 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 a vegemite on toast,
Just you and me, a cup of tea,
Later on, we'll settle down
And mull up on the porch
And watch the possums play.

Chorus

There's a safeway on the corner
And a Woolworths down the street
And a new world's just been opened
Where they regulate the heat
But I'd trade them all tomorrow
For a simple bush retreat
Where the kookaburras call

Chorus

Some people like their houses with fences all around
Others live in mansions, and some beneath the ground,
But me, I like the bush, you know with rabbits running round
And a pumpkin vine out back

Chorus
