Blue Gumtree Ball

(álbum: Natural High - 1994)

Oh the kangaroos hop and the rabbits go mad
The white cockatoo, well, he's real glad
'Cause they're all going to the blue gumtree ball
They're all dressed up in their bushland suits
With a big wallaroo in high heel boots
Heading out to where the gumtrees stand tall

As the dingo howls beneath the moon
They'll be swinging soon to a bushland tune
When they all arrive at the old gumtree ball
The kookaburra laughs away the time
The emu's feeling in his prime
As the curlew echoes out her final call

And the dance floor's made of gidgee stone
The stage is a little overgrown
And a sand goanna plays the didgeridoo
There's a wombat playing lead guitar
And the bass is played by a pink galah
And the beat is kept by the tail of a kangaroo
(Let's go now!)

As they swing each other 'round the floor
To a fiddle tune and yell for more
As the bushland band plays another song
The [?] stand so gracefully
Underneath the nighttime canopy
To the vocals of the pretty currawong
The koala's danced around all night
With the bandicoot in the soft moonlight
To a jukesy tap where the gumtrees stand tall
And they'll be back again someday
To render another bush refrain
When they meet again at the old gumtree ball

Oh, the dance floor's made of gidgee stone
The stage is a little overgrown
And a sand goanna plays the didgeridoo
There's a wombat playing lead guitar
And the bass is played by a pink galah
And the beat is kept by the tail of a kangaroo
(You know what I said)

And there's a wombat playing lead guitar
And the bass is played by a pink galah
And the beat is kept by the tail of a kangaroo
