Waltzing Matilda

Here we go

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a coolibah tree
And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me

Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong
Up got the swaggie and grabbed him with glee
And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker-bag
You'll come a-waltzing Matil- (sing it now)

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker-bag
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me

Okay, I wanna hear the blokes by themselves
You know the routine, next chorus
Make sure the girls go home feeling proud of you, okay?
Here we go
Down came the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred
Up came the troopers, one two three
Who's the jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker-bag?
You'll come a-waltzing Ma- (blokes only now, here we go)

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me (who's the jolly jumbuck?)
Who's the jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker-bag?
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me

Give 'em a round of applause girls, that was proud
Okay girls, next chorus is your chance to turn us blokes on, give us goose-bumps
After this verse
Up got the swaggie and jumped into the billabong
"You'll never catch me alive", said he
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong
You'll come a-waltzing Matil- (girls only now)

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me (and his ghost)
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me

Give 'em a round of applause fellas, that was fantastic
All together now

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me

Up the Wallabies!
