Lyrics Welcome All to Broome - John Williamson

Welcome All to Broome

Well I grabbed my camera, grabbed my zoom
Left my guitar in the hotel room
A few days here, I must presume
To know enough about life in Broome
Well I met this dark-eyed local girl
Has no time for mother o' pearl
The golf course and palm trees
The local girl likes none of these
She likes red sand and blue seas
Bush tucker in the trees
Give me wet season if you please
Sandpiper, gentle breeze
Well I talked to a man who has big dreams
Of multi-million dollar schemes
Of tourists pouring in in teems
Broome is not just what it seems
The holy dollar plays the tune
Original people movin' soon
All gone out to desert moon
Far away, away
From the red sand and blue seas
Bush tucker in the trees
Give me wet season if you please
Sandpiper, gentle breeze
Gotta make this place respectable
Build a monster shopping mall
Paint a dragon on the wall
Bring your money, one and all
Do we welcome all to Broome
Do we welcome all to Broome
Welcome all to Broome
Welcome all to Broome
(Red sand and blue seas)
(Bush tucker in the trees)
(Give me wet season if you please)
(Sandpiper, gentle breeze)
