WALTZ YOUR MATILDA
He drove a battered combi van
All around Australia
Following the sunshine
Footloose and free.
Guitar upon his shoulder
Surfboard on the bumper bar
Waltzing Matilda ---- light-heartedly,
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda - Who'll come a
Waltzing Matilda with me?
Guitar upon his shoulder
Surfboard on the bumper bar
Waltzing Matilda - - Ayer's Rock to the sea.
Blue goes where he goes
Shares his booze and take-aways
Tail always wagging
Jaunt-ily
Chased the local copper's car
It swerved and hit a coolabah
And Waltzed a Matilda - - - spectacularly
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda - You'll come a
Waltzing Matilda with me
It slammed into a coolabah
The sergeant marched into the bar
'Waltz your Matilda and come with me'.
'No licence for the bloody dog,
No rego on the camper van,
Busking in a hotel bar
Illeg-ally!'
Our hero un-expectedly
Jumped off the highest balcony
Waltzed his Matilda - - - permanent-ly!
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda - Who'll come a
Waltzing Matilda with me?
Just a sad and lonely cattle-dog
Yearning for some company,
Waltzing Matilda - - mournfully.
