G
We're heading
for the Simpson Desert,
my good old mates and me.
Lots of plants and pots and pans
D
G
and a billy for billy tea.
C
We're gonna catch some yappies,
Cm
C
they're yummy and they're free.
D
G
Eagles call them crawpobs
but it's all the same to me.
We're heading for the
Simpson Desert,
there's no need to speak.
But we want Billy Dally
with everything we need.
C
There's Mud Rock and Sand Dunes
Cm
and Dodge and Kangaroos
D
G
We'll pump, dig, jump, start
or winch each other through
Yeah, we're heading
for the Simpson Desert,
D
G
the girls are with us too
They will come in handy
to make an Irish stew
C
You gotta keep on laughing,
Cm
I reckon that's the key
D
G
A happy wife is a happy life,
D

Underneath the cool of our
D
round to get you fired
G
C
I'm gonna touch the stars
Cm
and I'm gonna touch the moon
D

And I'll grab a cup of Milky Way
D

and I'll eat it with a spoon

Now I find it very difficult
D
G
to drink as well as see
I'm gonna have to find a way
D
G
to finish off this scene
C
It's all very well for Mick,
Cm
he's sinking down a few
G
D
And Peter's pouring wine
G
so the girls are giggling too
No, I don't know how to finish it,
D
G
I'm buggered if I do
There's a thousand verses
D
G
you sure I can do
C
You've got to make the words
Cm
flow near enough,
D
won't you? If you stuff up the rhythm
G
you'll be thrown in the billabong
G
D

and everyone will go to bed
