Waltzing Galinda ~ the Lyrics
There was a sneaky Quokka camped beside a billabong
Under the shade of a Stringy bark tree
And he sang as he watched waiting till his kettle boiled
“You’ll go a-waltzing Galinda with me”
Waltzing Galinda, waltzing Galinda
You’ll go a-waltzing Galinda with me
And he sang as he watched waiting till his kettle boiled
“You’ll go a-waltzing Galinda with me”
Down came Galinda all sparkly and sassy
Followed by her children, one, two and three
Quiet sat the Quokka, pouch open and ready
“You’ll come a-scooting and munching with me!”
Scooting and munching, scooting and munching
who’ll come a-scooting and munching with me!
And he twirled with a giggle, all fluffy and jolly
“You’ll come a-scooting and munching with me!”
Up rode the Trooper, a-huffin’ and a puffin'
Hat on his brow and boots to his knee
“What’s that you’ve got stashed in your tuckerbag
“You’ll come a-waltzing to the jail with me!”
Waltzing Galinda, waltzing Galinda
Caught by the billabong under the tree
and his voice still lingers, listen very closely
“You’ll come a-waltzing Galinda with me!”
Waltzing Galinda, waltzing Galinda
Caught by the billabong under the tree
and his voice still lingers, listen very closely
“You’ll come a-waltzing Galinda with me!”
Waltzing Galinda, waltzing Galinda
Caught by the billabong under the tree
and his voice still lingers, listen very closely
“You’ll come a-waltzing Galinda with me!”
