Hey Yolngu Boy
Under the neon light
Hey Yolngu Boy
Under the neon light
Come with me see a brand new day
You see that cycad palm
That's the pure eye
You see that cycad palm
That's the living bread
Come with me see a brand new day
You see that long black cloud
Up towards Batjutjpi
You see that long black cloud
Back towards Narulwuy
Maybe it's raining at Lamiwuy
Hey Yolngu Boy
Under the cycad palm
Now you know for sure
That I really care for you
Only the eye can tell you why
Hey Yolngu Boy
Under the neon light
Hey Yolngu Boy
Under the neon light
Come with me see a brand new day
