Queensland Bungalow - John Williamson

You don’t need a shed in northern Queensland

And it requires a small amout of nous

Elevate on nine foot foundations

Park the ute right underneath the house

Proud to be a Queensland Bungalow

In the middle of the tall sugar cane

A green frog listens to the thunder

And good old boys are drinkin' beer again

Poor old Eddie lost his dog today

Been together fifteen years or so

Not like him sittin' in the corner

Finds it hard to let his feelin’s show

But he’ll come around in a while

He’ll grab another 'muddy' by the claw

Throw the shells somewhere near the bucket

Tomorrow we’ll just hose 'em out door

Mother quickly gathers the washing

It’s far too steamy today

She’ll throw the overalls in the dryer

It was wishful thinkin' anyway

Out there a little south of Townsville

The monsoonal rains begin pour

No wonder a man’s a heavy drinker

Too hot to do much else that’s for sure

Neville’s found XXXX in the freezer

Ron and Graham are snorin' on the floor

Eddie’s passed out on the trailer

Tomorrow we’ll just hose 'em out the door

Grab another 'muddy' by the claw

Tomorrow we’ll just hose 'em out the door
