Blue Gumtree Ball Lyrics by Slim Dusty

Natural High

1994

[Verse 1]
Oh the kangaroos hop and the rabbits go mad
The white cockatoo, well, he's real glad
'Cause they're all goin' to the blue gumtree ball
They're all dressed up in their bushland suits
With a big wallaroo in high heel boots
Headin' out to where the gumtrees stand tall

[Verse 2]
As the dingo howls beneath the moon
They'll be swingin' soon to a bushland tune
When they all arrive at the old gumtree ball
The kookaburra laughs away the time
The emu's feeling in his prime
As the curlew echoes out her final call

[Chorus]
And the dance floor's made of gidgee stone
The stage is a little overgrown
And a sand goanna plays the didgeridoo
There's a wombat playin' lead guitar
And the bass is played by a pink galah
And the beat is kept by the tail of a kangaroo
(Let's go now!)

[Instrumental bridge]

[Verse 3]
As they swing each other 'round the floor
To a fiddle tune and yell for more
As the bushland band plays another song
The [?] stand so gracefully
Underneath the nighttime canopy
To the vocals of the pretty currawong
The koala's danced around all night
With the bandicoot in the soft moonlight
To a jukesy tap where the gumtrees stand tall
And they'll be back again someday
To render another bush refrain
When they meet again at the old gumtree ball

[Chorus]
Oh, the dance floor's made of gidgee stone
The stage is a little overgrown
And a sand goanna plays the didgeridoo
There's a wombat playin' lead guitar
And the bass is played by a pink galah
And the beat is kept by the tail of a kangaroo
(You know what I said)

[Outro]
And there's a wombat playin' lead guitar
And the bass is played by a pink galah
And the beat is kept by the tail of a kangaroo
