You've heard about Ned Kelly |
|
and those other famous crooks |
|
I've seen them on the TV |
|
I've seen them in my picture books |
|
Well, here's a little song about a bloke so bad and mean |
|
An evil, vicious outlaw, the worst there's ever been |
|
Oh, out in the bush where the kookaburras fly |
|
where the gum trees reach to the clear blue sky |
|
There's a cave in the hillside where I hide, |
|
I'm a big, bad bush-bushranger |
|
Deep in the cave there's a big, |
|
black hole that's filled to the brim with |
|
locks of gold And diamond rings and |
|
things I stole, I'm a big, bad bush-bushranger |
|
Late at night when the sun goes down and |
|
everyone's asleep in town |
|
I count all my money in my dressing gown, |
|
I'm a big, bad bush-bushranger |
|
I'm a bush, I'm a bush, |
|
I'm a bush-bushranger |
|
Runnin' from the law, |
|
livin' on danger |
|
Bang, bang, hands up, |
|
stick'em up straight |
|
I'm a big, bad bush-bushranger |
|
Got a rope and a whip and a gun, of course, |
|
I'm chased everywhere by the bush policeforce |
|
While I ride through the night |
|
on my big black horse, |
|
I'm a big, bad, bush-bushranger |
|
And when the townsfolk |
|
see me ride they lock all |
|
the doors and stay inside |
|
And find a place that's safe to hide, |
|
I'm a big, bad, bush-bushranger |
|
I ride thirty miles through the wind and hail |
|
to hold up a bank or theRoyal Mail |
|
I give all my money to my girlfriend, Gayle |
|
I'm a big, bad, bush-bushranger |
|
I'm a bush, I'm a bush, |
|
I'm a bush-bushranger |
|
Runnin' from the law, |
|
livin' on danger |
|
Bang, bang, hands up, |
|
stick'em up straight |
|
I'm a big, bad bush-bushranger |
|
I sleep every mornin' |
|
till half past nine, have |
|
m'brekky in bed, then rise and shine |
|
Get dressed in my best for my life of crime |
