[Verse 1] 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 me friends all ask me The place that I adore I tell them right away [Chorus] Give me a home among the gumtrees With lots of plum trees A sheep or two, a k-kangaroo A clothesline out the back Verandah out the front And an old rockin' chair [Verse 2] I'll be standing in the kitchen Cooking up a roast Or Vegemite on toast You and me, a cup of tea Later on, we'll sеttle down And mull up on the porch And watch the possums play [Chorus] Givе me a home among the gumtrees With lots of plum trees A sheep or two, a k-kangaroo A clothesline out the back Verandah out the front And an old rockin' chair [Bridge] There's a Safeways up the corner And a Woolworths down the street And a new place that just opened up Where they regulate the heat But I'd trade them all tomorrow For a simple bush retreat Where the k-kookaburras call (*Kookaburra calls*) [Chorus] Oh, give me a home among the gumtrees With lots of plum trees A sheep or two, a k-kangaroo A clothesline out the back Verandah out the front And an old rocking chair [Verse 3] 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 wabbits wunnin' wound And a pumpkin vine out the back [Chorus] Give me a home among the gumtrees With lots of plum trees A sheep or two, a k-kangaroo A clothesline out the back Verandah out the front And an old rocking chair Give me a home among the gumtrees (*Animal noises*) With lots of plum trees A sheep or two, a k-kangaroo A clothesline out the back Verandah out the front And an old rockin' chair Give me a home among the gumtrees With lots of plum trees A sheep or two, a k-kangaroo A clothesline out the back Verandah out the front And an old rockin' chair, yeah! [Outro] And an old rockin' chair, yeah! Alright! Alright, yeah! Alright! Alright, yeah! That went great
