Billabong

Rabbit Hill
Red gums big
Lignum flat
Where Rex caught the pig

Nan and Pop's house sitting high on the hill
I can taste that homemade toffee still
Let's ride Cindy into the bong
Good diving board
Her back so strong

Walk home slowly
In half light
No towel needed
Just drip dry

And Mum says "Boy you smell of Billabong
No homework done son that's just plain wrong"
Yeah righto Mum
Me and school

Sometimes don't fit
So I packed my suitcase
Said this is it
Skipped the school bus
Headed down that big hill
That ancient playground
It haunts me still

And I watch my kids running round this small backyard
Where's they gonna run away to it's so bloody hard
In a small backyard

Now late at night
When I'm feeling stressed
In my sleep
Oh it's the best

There I am with friends and family
And enough big yabbies for a damn good feed
And one day I'm gonna take my wife and show her what I mean
Fox and red gum suckers on a sea of green

Yeah Lilywades
Oh Billabong
Yeah Billabong
