Oh the kangaroos hop and the rabbits go mad The white cockatoo, well, he's real glad 'Cause they're all goin' to the blue gumtree ball They're all dressed up in their bushland suits With a big wallaroo in high heel boots Headin' out to where the gumtrees stand tall As the dingo howls beneath the moon They'll be swingin' 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 playin' 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 playin' 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 playin' lead guitar And the bass is played by a pink galah And the beat is kept by the tail of a kangaroo
