Give Me a Home Among the Gum Trees - John Kane I've been around the world A couple of times And maybe more I've seen the sights I've had delights Some every foreign shore And when my friends All ask me The place that I adore I tell them right away Give me a home among The gumtrees With lots of plum trees A sheep or two A kangaroo A clothesline Out the back Verandah out the front And an old rocking chair You can see me in the kitchen Cooking up a roast Or vegemite on toast Just you and me A cup of tea And later on We'll settle down And go out on the porch And watch the one fats play Give me a home among The gumtrees With lots of plum trees A sheep or two A kangaroo A clothesline Out the back Verandah out the front And an old rocking chair There's a safeways Up the corner And a wood workds Down the street And a brand new place They've opened up Where they regulate the heat I'd trade them All tomorrow For a little bush retreat Where the kookaburras sing Give me a home among The gumtrees With lots of plum trees A sheep or two A kangaroo A clothesline Out the back Verandah out the front And an old rocking chair Some people Like their houses build With fences all around Others live in mansions And some beneath the ground But I will be contented 'Till the day That I have found The place I longed to be Give me a home among The gumtrees With lots of plum trees A sheep or two A kangaroo A clothesline Out the back Verandah out the front And an old rocking chair Give me a home among The gumtrees With lots of plum trees A sheep or two A kangaroo A clothesline Out the back Verandah out the front And an old rocking chair And an old rocking chair And an old rocking chair
