Home Among The Gum Trees Lyrics
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 that I adore
I tell them right away

Give me a home among the gum trees with lots of plum trees
A sheep or two, a kangaroo
A clothes-line out the back, verandah out the front
And an old rocking chair-air

You can see me in the kitchen cookin' up a roast or 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

Give me a home among the gum trees with lots of plum trees
A sheep or two, a kangaroo
A clothes-line out the back, verandah out the front
And an old rocking chair-air

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 the back

Give me a home among the gum trees with lots of plum trees
A sheep or two, a kangaroo
A clothes-line out the back, verandah out the front
And an old rocking chair-air

Give me a home among the gum trees with lots of plum trees
A sheep or two, a kangaroo
A clothes-line out the back, verandah out the front
And an old rocking chair...
