You'll hear the kookaburras giggle .
You'll see the frill neck lizards wriggle in the outback of never never land,
but if you should see a kangaroo,
playing tunes on a didgeridoo ,
it's time to get yourself a tinnie in the hand .

You'll walk down a dusty beaten track,
with those hitching bush flies on your back in the outback of never never land ,
but if you should see a wallaby ,
chasing a wild dingo up a tree ,
it's time to get yourself a tinnie in the hand .

You could rope a crazy crocodile,
You could throw boomerang's half a mile in the outback of never never land ,
but if you should see the waratahs
flying like some pretty pink galahs ,
it's time to get yourself a tinnie in the hand .

You'll find that almost every night,
things are going crook, but she'll be right in the outback of never never land ,
but if you should see me china plate ,
tell him that there'll be no worries mateonce we all get ourselves a tinnie in the hand .
