Verse 1:
   D
Oh happy travellers are we
   G                   A
around Australia in a caravan

the kids are gone, we have no plan
     G    A              D      Bm
you navigate, I'm your engine man

yes, happy campers are we

Verse 2:
    D
and king of the road are we
G                     A
up a mountain road we wind
       G               A
with a mile of traffic stuck behind
     G          A        D         Bm
two friendlier folk you wouldn't find
     G        A          D
oh cheery ol' chooks are we


Chorus:
      G
we've hit the road|.
    D
and sold the home||
       A                D
like a pair of drover's round we roam
G                  D        Bm
no more winter and no more phone

we're wild and fancy free

       D
and a pair of toilers are we
G                    A
we'll pick fruit or prune a tree
     G                  A
any old job doesn't worry me
      G         A            D       Bm
it'll cover our fuel and the camping fee
     G          A        D
ah, frugal old farts are we


Verse 4:
      D
and a dear old chook are you
        G               A
in your terry towelling dressing gown
     G                     A
the one you bought in the country town
G        A         D       Bm
yours is pink and mine is brown
     G         A        D
threadbare old farts are we



Chorus:
           G
Yeah we've hit the road|.
    D
and sold the home||
       A                D
like a pair of drover's round we roam
G                  D       Bm
no more winter and no more phone
      G        A     D
we're wild and fancy free

Verse 5:

and a tidy little unit are we
G                         A
everything has a place to be
  G                    A
a jar of coffee and a tin of tea
   G        A      D        Bm
a life for two but not for three
   G        A         D
oh sexy old tarts are we


Bridge:
       G                D
and we always camp just near the loo
         A            D
cause I have to go at midnight too
G                           D     Bm
dribble, dribble, dribble's all I do
   G        A        D
oh over the hill are we
