verse 1
I've bFeen around the world
A couple of Gmtimes or maybe Cmore
I've Gmseen the sights, I've Chad delights
On eFvery foreign shore
But wFhen my mates all ask me
The pGmlace that I aCdore
I Gmtell them Cright awaFy "what do we tell em?"
Chorus
Give me a home among theGm gumtrees C
With lots of Gmplum trees C
A sFheep or two, a k-kangaroo
A Fclothesline out the back
VGmerandah out the fCront
And an Gmold rCocking cFhair
verse 2 (same as verse 1)
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 possums play
chorus
Give me a home among the gumtrees
With lots of plum trees
A sheep or two, a k-kangaroo
A clothesline out the back
Verandah out the front
And an old rocking chair
verse 3
There's a A#Safeways up the corner
And a FWoolies down the street
And a Cbrand new place they've opened up
Where they Fregulate the heat
But I'd A#trade them all tomorrow
For a Flittle bush retreat
Where the CkookabGmurras Ccall kookakakakakakkaakakkakaaa
chorus
Give me a home among the gumtrees
With lots of plum trees
A sheep or two, a k-kangaroo
A clothesline out the back
Verandah out the front
And an old rocking chair
verse 4 ( up a step )
Some Gpeople like their houses
With Amfences all Daround ]
AmOthers live in maDnsions
And Gsome beneath the ground
But Gme I like the bush you know
With Amrabbits running rounDd
And a Ampumpkin vDine out the Gback
chorus (no guitar played in this chorus) (just singing)
Give me a home among the gumtrees
With lots of plum trees
A sheep or two, a k-kangaroo
A clothesline out the back
Verandah out the front
And an old rocking chair
Give me a home among the Amgumtrees D
With lots of pAmlum trees D
A Gsheep or two, a k-kangaroo
A Gclothesline out the back
VAmerandah out the Dfront
And an Amold rDocking cGhair
