Lyrics:
(Chorus:)
Out in the
Outback (4x)
You might
see a wallaby,
Koala or
kowari,
Numbat,
wombat, wallaroo
Kaluta or a
kangaroo
(Chorus 2:)
Out in the
Outback
The
Australian Outback
(2x)
There’s lots of marsupials
The mothers
are no slouches
They carry
their babies
around
in their pouches
(Chorus 2)
You might
see a kakarratul
a
fluffy glider or a quoll
Tasmanian
Devil or a tuan
Bandicoot,
bilby or bettong
(Chorus 3:)
Walk about
the Walkabout
The
Australian Walkabout
(2x)
Australia is
an island
a
continent cut-off by sea
Their
animals are so unique
‘cause they evolved differently
(Chorus 2)
