Home Among The Gumtrees

[Verse 1]
I've been around the world
A couple of times or maybe more
I've seen the sights, I've had delights
On every foreign shore
But when my mates all ask me
The place that I adore
I tell them right away

[Chorus]
Give me a home among the gumtrees
With lots of plum trees
A sheep or two, and a kangaroo
A clothesline out the back
Verandah out the front
And an old rocking chair

[Verse 2]
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, and a kangaroo
A clothesline out the back
Verandah out the front
And an old rocking chair
An old rocking chair
