lyrics

Now I’ve done my time
In this northern clime
And I think that I’ve got myself together
No more fooling round
Now I’m homeward bound
Within easy reach
Of a sandy beach
And some sunny weather!

CH.
There’s a place I wanna be
It’s a South Seas fantasy
It’s a perfect wonder
Get down under
And the kiwi birds you see
Dancin’ in the kiwi trees
They’re a perfect wonder
Get down under

Now I’m sick of snow
And I’m sick of the neon glow
And I’m tired of the city slicker
So I’m gonna go
Where the pace is slow
Where the air is clean
And the grass if green
And the beer is thicker!

Bridge & Solo Section:
And when the musos play
They can jam the night away
Singin’ ‘ooh, ooh, wah”

And I’ll settle down on a patch of ground
It’s the perfect spot that I’ve had my eyes on
Walking barefoot in the breeze
Eating peaches off the trees
I can groove for hours
On the perfumed flowers
And the clear horizon!
