Verse 1
D 
I learned to be a sheik
G 
at Duck and Wooler Creek
D 
But there's no swords
A 
there old enough to woo
D 
If you want to know how,
G 
I practiced on a cow
D 
A 
D 
Every time I kissed her she would moo
Yes, folks, she was my pal,
G 
not a spentthrift like a gal
D 
A 
She followed me everywhere I'd go
D 
And in all that time she
G 
never spent a dime
D 
A 
D 
Never asked me for a penny of my dough
But then there came a day
G 
when she ran away
D 
A 
And with sorrow my poor heart was full
D 
I couldn't realise that
G 
she had left me flat
D 
But she had jumped the fence
A 
D 
with a handsome jersey bull
So then I said goodbye to the
G 
cowbells and pigsties
D 
A 
And started getting interested in sorts
D 
I'd look at them and sigh
G 
as they'd pass me by
D 
A 
Especially the ones in swim
D 
ming suits and shorts
They didn't know me yet,
G 
but they'd soon learn, you bet
D 
A 
What kind of bloke I've turned out to be
D 
I'm a Casanova type,
G 
I drink and smoke a pipe
D 
A 
D 
And I'm just about to go out on a spree
I once took out a sort,
G 
and boy was she a sport
D 
A 
She said, love me up and kiss me too
D 
It was then I lost my head,
G 
I don't know what I said
D 
A 
D 
But I had to go and ask Dad what to do
Oh, she made me blow my nose,
G 
she asked me to propose
D 
A 
She said I was the perfect type of man
D 
It was then I pulled my freight,
G 
I bolted through the gate
D 
Because I'll die before
A 
D 
I'll ever push a pram
Yes, married life is not for me,
G 
I want to be free
D 
A 
To have fun like any single bloke
D 
When you're married to a skirt,
G 
you've had it, that's a cert
D 
Yes, you're tied down
A 
like a bullock in his yoke
D 
So married life is not for me,
G 
I want to be free
D 
Sheila's yapped so much
A 
my ears go numb
D 
When the right sort comes my way,
G 
I want half the say
D 
A 
D 
G 
So she'll have to be a Sheila who is dumb
