As the Mandalit ferry cuts its way to Serengay.
As the Manly Ferry cuts its way to Circular Quay.
Burke and Wills and Camels
Mitchells in the trees
Burke and Wills and Camels
Initials in the tree
Mitchells: as in Major Mitchell cockatoos
Burke and Wills and camels Initials in Madrid
Burke and Wills and camels
Initials in the tree
Burke and Wills and camels
Nestled in the trees.
Burke and Wills and camels
Initials in the tree
I see the others reading, standing
As the Manly Ferry cuts its waden sucker again.
I see the others reading, standing
As the Manly Ferry cuts its way to Circular Quay.
Like Scott and me and Taki
Like Scott in the Antarctic
Like Scott of the Antartic
They scan too far away
A russian sub beneath the arctic
Burke and wills and camels
Initials in Madrid
Like Scott in the Antarctic
Base Camp too far away
Russian sub beneath the arctic
Burke and wills and camels
Poke out your tongue, don't be so gutless
Throw down your gun, don't be so reckless
She don't like backgammon behaviour
She don't like that kind of behaviour
She don't like the fat can of Bahalia.
She don't like that kind of behaviour.
She don't like
That kind of a hater.
She don't like
That kind of behavior.
She don't like fat Canada hay yards
She don't like That kind of behavior.
Throw down your guts
Don't be so restless.
Throw down your guns
Don't be so reckless.
