Lyrics Queensland Bungalow - John Williamson

Queensland Bungalow

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
