The Cunnin’ Roo Shooter |
| Oh I’ve got a 30−25 and a Peekout scope |
| Got myself a 4 wheel drive and a heart that’s full of hope |
| I’ve got some caps and loading gear and pegs to peg skins out |
| Goin' to make a fortune, shootin' roos way out |
| I’ve got myself a Markee tent and all the gear to camp |
| even got a kero fridge and a tilly lamp |
| got a month’s supply of tucker and a big camp oven too |
| soon I’ll be in business shootin' kangaroos |
| Go’n to hunt at night time |
| when the roos come out to feed |
| hold 'em with the spot light while I draw a bead |
| taking skins by lamplight, then by day I’ll rest |
| goin' to be a big shot in the mighty west |
| When I see a dingo, then his scalp he’ll lose |
| just a little sideline to the kangaroos |
| even sportin' fox scalps and the wild pigs' snouts |
| Goin' to make a fortune, shootin' roos way out |
| Now if the skins aren’t bringin' prices like they should |
| maybe lots of paddy bags and the pelts no good |
| well then I’ll work the freezers and shoot for carcases |
| Goin' to make a fortune on the nightly beat |
| Oh I’ve got a 30−25 and a Peekout scope |
| Got myself a 4 wheel drive and a heart that’s full of hope |
| I’ve got some caps and loading gear and pegs to peg skins out |
| Goin' to make a fortune, shootin' roos way out |
| Goin' to make a fortune, shootin' roos way out |
