There's always somethin' thrilling

To get your heart a-racin'

No shit I've had the notion

From sense, and light, and pleasure

And I would not take a thing
        Bm
From my journey out under

E                             Bm
Vegemite and flying kites the opposite way

With crocodilian convicts

And the criminally insane
