Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head

I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining
'Cause I'm free
Nothing's worrying me.                      Burt Bacharach














 In the rain we came to stay
At Elliot Heads
Just for a day.
Colourful locals knocked at the door...
 Please Bill, came we have some more?
   
 At Agnes Water we came to rest
    Among the trees we made our nest.
    A cheeky bird called out a word
    "Bugger off-Bugger off"
     We thought we heard.


     This little pig sat in the grass
 Of many variations, considered high brass
 Home made jobs rendered owners proud
Cough, choke, splutter...
Complete with mushroom cloud.


Goodbye Lake Murphy
    I'll come again soon.
    And remember you well
    Under that large silvery moon.
     Dancing spider eyes from under leaves peep
     Glittering like diamonds around my feet.
     Waterbirds at play
     Cocky's screech fill the air
 Dandelions floating everywhere.
 Little brown frog peeps behind the dunny
 What you see must surely look funny. 
Got me tossed why you hang out in there
The lake is full to brimming
And you'd benefit from fresher air!


The forest was dark
The sky was clear
    All was still...
    What was that dear?
    Eyes watching from every height
    As slowly round the campfire
    Gathered critters of the night.
    OOO-OOO
   Twick-twick-twick
   yakka yakka yakka
  click click click.
  Get me outa here Bill
 QUICK QUICK QUICK.


Lake Murphy glows as the sun sinks low
We listen to the wind and the waters flow.
But the rain clouds threaten
So we stay for just one night
For if we fail to leave by morning
We'll be stuck in mud awright!

Goodbye lazy cows
Chewing the cud.
See ya later long legged birds
Hope you love the mud.

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Merry merry king of the bush is he
Laugh kookaburra
Laugh kookaburra
Gay your life must be.
