"Boomerang / Tie Me Kangaroo Down / Where The Dog Sits On The Tuckerbox" lyrics

[Boomerang:]

This is the tale of the new chum, Jack
Who's just come in from the Great Outback

I asked an old dark man how the boomerang came to be
And he told me as only a dark fella can
That they made it from a boomerang tree

A boomerang, a boomerang, a boomerang tree
I searched and searched but never did see
That's how the boomerang came to be
They made it from a boomerang tree

Boomerang, boomerang, kangaroo tail
Roly-poly, Birdsville Mail
New chum, new chum on the trail
All add up to a dark fella's tale

[Tie Me Kangaroo Down:]

Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down

Watch me wallabies feed, mate
Watch me wallabies feed
'Cause they're a dangerous breed, mate
So watch me wallabies feed

Tan me hide when I'm dead, Fred
Tan me hide when I'm dead
So we tanned his hide when he died, Clive
And that's it hangin' on the shed
All together now

Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down

[Where the Dog Sits on the Tuckerbox:]

My Mabel waits for me
Underneath the bright blue sky
Where the dog sits on the tuckerbox
Nine miles from Gundagai

I meet her every day
And I know she's dinky-dye
Where the dog sits on the tuckerbox
Nine miles from Gundagai

I think she's bonza
And she reckons I'm good-o
She's such a trimmer
That I've entered her for the local show, 'ey

My Mabel waits for me
Underneath the bright blue sky
Where the dog sits on the tuckerbox
Nine miles from Gundagai
Nine miles from Gundagai
