Big Yabbies From The Creek

I’ve eaten goat and rabbit in the bush at times when stuck
And grilled a sand goanna flock pigeons and wild duck
I’ve also filled my tummy with black swan for a week
But I’ve always got a craving for big yabbies from the creek
I’ve tried the snake and plover boiled galah and cockatoo
Had my share of emu eggs and steak from the kangaroo
I’ve even tackled saddle flaps with hunger at its peak
But my mouth just goes to water with big yabbies from the creek
When the wife puts on a barbie and invites the neighbours in
They dive on steak and onions nearly bursting at the bin
I also rub my bingie though I’m not some kind of freak
After eating 15 dozen big yabbies from the creek.
Hey!
Yodel
After boiling up the yabbies with salt to flavour right
I call in my old cobber and we chew on half the night
Wash them down with stubbies and into to bed I sneak
And dream of my great weakness big yabbies from the creek
Oh ho ho
Oh, I’ve dined at Chinese restaurants and high brow clubs and taverns
To the humble city pie cart at times when I’ve been down
Shuffle them together in preference I would seek
The tantalizing flavour of big yabbies from the creek
Hey!
When the wife puts on a barbie and invites the neighbours in
They dive on steak and onions nearly bursting at the bin
I also rub my bingie though I’m not some kind of freak
After eating 15 dozen big yabbies from the creek
Hey!
Yodel
When the wife puts on a barbie and invites the neighbours in
They dive on steak and onions nearly bursting at the bin
I also rub my bingie though I’m not some kind of freak
After eating 15 dozen big yabbies from the creek
Oh yeah!
Yeah, after eating 15 dozen big yabbies from the creek.
