       [Verse] 
       
      He woke up with a croak in his throat 
       
      A kangaroo court in his head afloat 
       
      Sunrise biting like a dingo's might 
       
      Flu hit hard like a bar room fight 
       
      [Verse 2] 
       
      Noonday heat pounding on his door 
       
      Stumbled out felt the fever roar 
       
      Made it to the loo with a tragic blunder 
       
      Echoes of his guts began to thunder 
       
      [Chorus] 
       
      Oh the outback blues they got him good 
       
      Sweatin' in the shade where a gumtree stood 
       
      Flies buzzin' round with a wicked song 
       
      Outback blues all day long 
       
      [Verse 3] 
       
      Laid on the sofa with a dusty sigh 
       
      Dreamin' of a time he'd want to fly 
       
      A boomerang spinning in his fevered mind 
       
      Hoping for a breeze he couldn't find 
       
      [Bridge] 
       
      Water ran thin from the rain tank low 
       
      Knew he had to fight this desert show 
       
      A kookaburra laughin' at his plight 
       
      Outback blues they hold on tight 
       
      [Chorus] 
       
      Oh the outback blues they got him good 
       
      Sweatin' in the shade where a gumtree stood 
       
      Flies buzzin' round with a wicked song 
       
      Outback blues all day long [Bridge] 
       
      Water ran thin from the rain tank low 
       
      Knew he had to fight this desert show 
       
      A kookaburra laughin' at his plight 
       
      Outback blues they hold on tight 
       
      Outback blues all day long  |
