Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong Under the shade of a coolibah tree, And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled: "Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me?" Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled: "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me." Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong. Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee. And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag: "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me." Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me", And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag: "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me." Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred. Down came the troopers, one, two, and three. "Whose that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag? You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me." Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me", "Whose that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag? You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me." Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong. "You'll never take me alive!" said he And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong: "Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me?" Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me", And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong: "Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me?" If you get up in the morning at a quarter to one, and all you want to do is have a little fun,
You brush your teeth ch ch ch ch, ch ch ch ch… x 2 If you get up in the morning at a quarter to two, and you just want to find something to do, You brush your teeth ch ch ch ch, ch ch ch ch… x 2 If you get up in the morning at a quarter to three, and your mind starts going twiddledy-dee, You brush your teeth ch ch ch ch, ch ch ch ch… x 2 If you get up in the morning at a quarter to four, and you think you hear a knock on your door, You brush your teeth ch ch ch ch, ch ch ch ch… x 2 If you get up in the morning at a quarter to five, and you just can’t wait to come alive You brush your teeth ch ch ch ch, ch ch ch ch… x 2 |
