DULACCA

From my CD "The Wizard of Auz"

(to the tune "Sealed with a Kiss")

Dulacca, Roma and Augathella are real Australian towns.

An Akubra is the most famous Auz hat

White Ox is a brand of tobacco

Anything else just Google it!

 

Out in the West Queensland town of Dulacca

I met a dark Aussie girl in a bar.

She walked up to me and asked for tobacca

I had some white ox we went to my car.

 

Then every night at the bar room she'd greet me

I'd say hello and I'd buy her a brew

Then grab a six-pack and out back she'd meet me

there in the brigalow darkness love grew.

 

One night a drover from Roma came in

sunk fifteen schooners inside...

He wore an Akubra - then he saw my lubra

his handsome young smile turned vile and snide

hurt my pride...so

 

I challenged this upstart to fight for her honour

he said okay and then punched my left ear

I saw some stars thought that I was a goner

then someone saved me they gave me a beer.

 

Then he ran at me and I threw a right hook

down went the drover his breathing had ceased

"Bugger me dead!" cried old Freddie the night cook

"It's cold-blooded murder - I'll call the police!"

 

Out the back door to the car park I ran

grabbed the best ute from the town...

Hilux with keys in it looked rather pleasing

I started the engine and put my foot down

and I drove...just

 

As fast as I could way out past Augathella

found me a job with a mustering crew

I was a lonely and unhappy fella

then one day I heard it: a didgeridoo.

 

There was the girl coming over the hill

and she'd brought most of her clan...

I jumped in my Honda and headed off yonder

the mention of marriage not part of my plan

so I ran...to

 

A flea-bitten motel, 'twas called "El Sombrero"

that's where they found me, the arms of the law

I ran to the car park and stole a Pajero

It was a turbo with five on the floor.

 

Off to my right lights from six Jeep Comanchees

out to my left four wheel drives by the score

Screaming at me on the CB like banshees

sirens were sounding - a deafening roar.

 

Something goes dreadfully wrong with my car

I slow right down then I stop...

Out in West Queensland I downed a Jim beam can

and there in the window the face of a cop

so I drop...out

 

The passenger door and I sneak through the shrubbery

"They'll never take me" I swear to moon's glow

Three hours later I'm at a corroberee

there is my girlfriend - with baby in tow!

 

Next thing a boomerang came cutting through me

that's where they left me to die all alone

I died and the lesson of all this came to me:

Out in West Queensland you don't point your bone.
