around Australia in a caravan

the kids are gone, we have no plan

up a mountain road we wind

with a mile of traffic stuck behind

any old job doesn't worry me

it'll cover our fuel and the camping fee

in your terry towelling dressing gown

the one you bought in the country town

yours is pink and mine is brown

threadbare old farts are we
