frangipani bay

Singer:john williamson

there's nothing like heading up the road

to where we've never been

emu birds smell new smells

see things we've never seen

and it's all rolled up

and tied right down

so the load cannot shift

'cause murphy's law'll never fail

and things will come adrift

down dusty roads trusty friends

were headed without a care

to frangipani bay

way

way up there

now there's more to darcy gollum than meets the eye

he's built bridges

gravel roads

he even used to fly

with a standcaster

kinda bashed

brim over the nose

cigarette growing on his lip

our leader

i suppose

through the mozzie net i see

the stars are still abright

the carpenter bird is hammerin'

the mozzies cannot bite

i smell the coffee's on

rod's keen to catch a fish

a big juicy baramundi

we wish we wish we wish!

down dusty roads trusty friends

were headed without a care

to frangipani bay

way

way up there

of course the girls are with us

they didn't have a choice

they're resigned to the fact

that boys will be boys

but we wouldn't go without 'em

and they wouldn't stay behind

three good cooks with real good looks

are very hard to find!

down dusty roads trusty friends

were headed without a care

to frangipani bay

way

way up there
