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 friends all ask me the place that I adore
I tell them right away
Give me a home among the gum trees, with lots of plum trees
A sheep or two and a pig, sign out the back, a veranda out the front
And an old rocking chair
You can see me in the kitchen, cooking up a roast
I'll bet you might on toast, just you and me and a cup
I'll bet you might on tea, and later on we'll settle down
And I'll open the porch, and watch the persons play
Give me a home among the gum trees, with lots of plum trees
A sheep or two and a pig, sign out the back, a veranda out the front
And an old rocking chair

A sheep or two and a pig, sign out the back, a veranda out the front
And an old rocking chair




And an old rocking chair
Give me a home among the gum trees
With lots of land trees
A sheep or two and a pig
We'll sit out the back
Up around out the front
And an old rocking chair
And an old rocking chair
