Home Among The Gum Trees Lyrics - John Williamson

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 

 

Give me a home among the gumtrees 

With lots of plum trees 

A sheep or two, a kangaroo 

A clothesline out the back 

Veranda out the front 

And an old rocking chair 

 

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 

 

Give me a home among the gumtrees 

With lots of plum trees 

A sheep or two, a kangaroo 

A clothesline out the back 

Veranda out the front 

And an old rocking chair 

 

There's a Safeways up the corner 

And a Woolies down the street 

And a brand new place they've opened up 

Where they regulate the heat 

But I'd trade them all tomorrow 

For a little bush retreat 

Where the kookaburras call 

 

Give me a home among the gumtrees 

With lots of plum trees 

A sheep or two, a kangaroo 

A clothesline out the back 

Veranda out the front 

And an old rocking chair 

 

Some people like their houses 

With fences all around 

Others live in mansions 

And some beneath the ground 

But me, I like the bush, you know 

With rabbits running round 

And a pumpkin vine out the back 

 

Give me a home among the gumtrees 

With lots of plum trees 

A sheep or two, a kangaroo 

A clothesline out the back 

Veranda out the front 

And an old rocking chair 

 

Give me a home among the gumtrees 

With lots of plum trees 

A sheep or two, a kangaroo 

A clothesline out the back 

Veranda out the front 

And an old rocking chair
