My Boomerang Won't Come Back
Lyricist:Max Diamond, Charlie Drake
Oom, yacka, wurka Oom, yacka, wurka Oom, yacka, wurka
In the bad back lands of Australia Many years ago The aborigine tribes were meeting Having a big pow, wow
Oom, yacka, wurka Oom, yacka, wurka
We got a lot of trouble, Chief On account of your son Mack My boy Mack? Why, what's wrong with him? My boomerang won't come back Your boomerang won't come back?
My boomerang won't come back My boomerang won't come back I've waved the thing all over the place Practiced till I was black in the face I'm a big disgrace to the Aborigine race My boomerang won't come back
I can ride a kangaroo (Yeah, yeah) Make Kinkajou stew (Yeah, yeah) But I'm a big disgrace to the aborigine race My boomerang won't come back
They banished him from the tribe then And sent him on his way He had a backless boomerang So here he could not stay
This is nice, innit? Getting banished at my time of life What a way to spend an evening Sitting on a rock in the middle of the desert With me boomerang in me hand I shall very likely get bushwhacked
Get out of it, you nasty bushwhacking animal Think I'll make a nice cup of tea (Doing, doing, doing) Good gracious, there goes a kangaroo I must have a practice with me boomerang Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Hit him right behind the left ear hole Now then, slowly back
If you throw that thing at me I'll jump right on your head (It chuckles and bounces away) Innit marvelous? Got a land full of kangaroos And I had to pick that one
For three long months he sat there Or maybe it was four Then an old old man in a kangaroo skin Came a-knocking at his door
Well, I'm the local witch doctor, son They call me George Alfred Black Now tell me, what's your trouble, boy? My boomerang won't come back Your boomerang won't come back?
My boomerang won't come back My boomerang won't come back I've waved the thing all over the place Practiced till I was black in the face I'm a big disgrace to the aborigine race My boomerang won't come back
Don't worry, boy, I know the trick And to you I'm gonna show it If you want your boomerang to come back Well, first you've got to throw it
Ooh, yes, never thought of that Daddy will be pleased Must have a go, nyuh, huh, excuse me Now then, slowly back and throw
Ooh my God, I've hit the flying doctor Eee, hee, hee, can you do first aid? Don't talk to me about first aid Voy, you owe me fourteen chickens
You know, when I learned you to throw the boomerang You know, first things first Yes, I know that but I mean I think on this occasion, you know You could be a bit more perspective
