[Verse 1]
I think I'll go on a walkabout
And find out what it's all about

The didgeridoo original man with a dream

[Hook]
On a walkabout
[Verse 3]

A walk could cure most all my blues
Bare feet or in my two shoes
One, two
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 4]
I think I'll go on a walkabout
And find out what it's all about
Can't hurt to try
Use your legs to rock it wide
Take a ride to the other side
[Instrumental Outro]
