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...
