Gulargambone
I wrote these lyrics in 2010 but I've never produced music for it. I don't recall any changes made.
THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE GULARGAMBONE (When It's Wet)
The river's full of life and the crops are green
The main street is filled with birds singing
When the dirt is damp in this outback town
The publican starts celebrating
He's hired a band that plays country music
Folks arrive and the bistro is near full
With a flannelet shirt and Akubra hat
Big Al reckons he's going to eat a bull
With boots on your feet
You'll look good in the street
In the town of Gulargambone
It's a rage when there's a shower
And the birds squawk on the hour
There is no town like Gulargambone
When the women get together they dress up smart
I'm impressed when all dance in a line
You can hear them chattering in the background
With only a moderate amount of wine
They too like their country music
They too like the sound of rain drops
And when ever it's wet in this little old town
The chirpy atmosphere never stops
With boots on your feet
You'll look good in the street
In the town of Gulargambone
It's a rage when there's a shower
And the birds squawk on the hour
There is no town like Gulargambone
When the music stops you can hear the bull
Sizzling in the pubs kitchen
Big Al gets served and everyone goes quiet
Al's movements gets all the attention
The music starts again and we leave the man alone
So he can digest his meal in peace
And at the end of the night when the lively pub shuts
Folks are too sober to be cheeky to Police
With boots on your feet
You'll look good in the street
In the town of Gulargambone
It's a rage when there's a shower
And the birds squawk on the hour
There is no town like Gulargambone
