DUBBO

A drover once told me the western plains is like a store

They Sell everything and it's worthy to explore

With a flannelette shirt and a wallet and some dough

I'm going to brush shoulders with the folk of Dubbo

You can fry from the thing in the sky

Dig a hole you don't always die

It's an adventure being in Dubbo

You want to see a chimpanzee

A dried up creek, get stung by a bee

It's good fun being in Dubbo

Galahs are about they harass all the tourist they greet

They fly around the old pub that's in Talbragar street

Must buy a drink, a feed and a rifle that shoots

And something to get the done of me boots

You can fry from the thing in the sky

Dig a hole you don't always die

It's an adventure being in Dubbo

You want to see a chimpanzee

A dried up creek, get stung by a bee

It's good fun being in Dubbo

With healthy fresh air and a tree with lots of shade

I'll park my car have a rest and sip some lemonade

I've got plenty of time to read paper and fall asleep

Not to worry cause I'll be woke by all the sheep

You can fry from the thing in the sky

Dig a hole you don't always die

It's an adventure being in Dubbo

You want to see a chimpanzee

A dried up creek, get stung by a bee

It's good fun being in Dubbo
