give me a home among the gum trees - captain rock (aus) lyrics

[intro]
g’day, my name’s frank
frank by name, frank by nature
and i’d like to croon a little tune i wrote when i was living in paris, on me arts council grant
i had a little flat in paris, up the melbourne into the champs des élysées
and i remember one particular occasion, i decided i’d take a cultural excursion down the louvre, to have a look at the liza minelli down there
and while i was down the louvre, i had occasion to go to the loo in the louvre
and i’m sittin’ there, tryin’ to read all the graffiti on the walls
which was all in french of course, although all the diagrams were in english
and i’m sittin’ there and all of a sudden this song came flushing through my mind, and i wrote it down
now, you don’t have to be joan sutherland or fish hooks or anyone like that to sing this, so, feel free to join in on the tchoruses

[verse 1]
i’ve been around the world a dozen times or maybe more
i’ve seen the sights and had delights on every foreign shore
but when my friends all ask of 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 kangaroo
a clothesline out the back, verandah out the front
and an old rocking chair

[verse 2]
i’ll be standing in the kitchen, cooking up a roast
with vegemite on toast, just me and you, a c*ckatoo
and after tea, we’ll settle down beside the hitching post
and watch the wombats play
[chorus]
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

[bridge]
there’s a safeway on the corner
and a woolworths down the street
and a new one’s just been opened where they regulate the heat
but i’d trade them all tomorrow for a simple bush retreat where kookaburras sing (*kookaburra calls*)

[chorus]
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
donnez*moi une maison parmi les arbres de gomme, à beaucoup des arbes de prune
un mouton ou deux, un kangourou
une corde à linge derrière, une véranda sur à front
et une vieille chaise à bascule

[post*chorus]
ah, pass us a cooler, will you, sport?

[verse 3]
some people like their houses built with fences all around
others live in mansions or in bunkers underground
but i won’t be content until the day that i have found
the place i long to be
[chorus]
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
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
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
