fast boat to sydney

oh i am a cheat and i'm a liar

oh but you're a lovin' ball of fire

i'll leave you like a bum without a penny

and while i'm home with the blues

i'll be hopin' like a kangaroo

when i get off of that fast boat to sydney

i said listen to me babe

i gave up the lovin' trade

i'm tired of all this runnin' jumpin' playin'

but you're like it down under

the world with the australian girls

and there's not a word of truth in what you're sayin'

oh i am a cheat and i'm a liar

oh but you're a lovin' ball of fire

i'll leave you like a bum without a penny

and while i'm home with the blues

i'll be hopin' like a kangaroo

when i get off of that fast boat to sydney

this is my greatest act

i've come boom a rangin' back

grinnin' like a rudolf valentino

but then you grab your travel load

like a swingin' grimmin' dog

and hopped on that fast boat to sydney

cause i am a cheat and i'm a liar

oh but you're a lovin' ball of fire

i'll leave you like a bum without a penny

and while i'm home with the blues

i'll be hopin' like a kangaroo

when i get off of that fast boat to sydney
