Thank you.
Well, when we were in the Kimberley we actually toured the show through first of all,
and if I made sure everybody in the audience knew I was going to come back through with a camper van.
So I got all sorts of invites to go out to stations and up rivers fishing for barramundi, just fantastic.
And of course we did stay in a lot of caravan parks as well.
This is all the way between Broome and Darwin.
And I'd forgotten all about caravan parks and it's fabulous.
I met all these wonderful old people.
I could feel a song coming on straight away.
And I've called it Old Farts in Caravan Parks.

[D]
Oh, happy travels are we, around [G] Australia [A] in a caravan.
[G] The kids are [A] gone, we have no plan, [A] you navigate [F#m] on your engine [G] man.
[A] Yes, happy [D] campers are we, king of the road are we.
[G] Up a [A] mountain road we'd wind, [G] with a mile of traffic [A] stuck behind.
[Em] Too friendly [A] a folk [D] you wouldn't [G] find, [C#m] oh cheery old chooks [D] are we.
[G] We've hit the [D] road and sold a [A] home like a pair of [D] drovers round we roam.
[G] No [Bm] more winter and no more fame, [A] we're wild and [D] fancy free.
And a pair of toilers are we, [G] we'll pick fruit [A] or prune a tree.
[G] Any old job [A] doesn't worry me, it'll cover our [D] fuel and the [G] camping fee.
[Em] Oh, frugal old farts [D] are we, and the dear old chook are you.
In your [G] terry toweling dressing [A] gown, [G] the one you [A] bought in the country town.
[G] Yours is [A] pink [D] and mine [G] is brown, [A] red bear old [D] farts are we.
[G] Yes, we've hit the road [D] and sold a home [A] like a pair of [D] drovers round we [G] roam.
No more [Bm] winter and no more fame, we're [A] wild and fancy [D] free.
Oh, jeez, we'll have to pull up again soon, darling.
And a tidy little unit are we, everything [A] has a place to be.
[G] A jar of coffee and [A] a tin of tea, a life or two, [D] but [G] not for three.
Oh, [E] sexy [D] old tarts are we, [G] and we always [D] camp just near the [F#m] loo,
because I have to go [D] at midnight too.
[G] And dribble, dribble, dribble, [Bm] dribble's all I do.
[A] All over the [D] hill I wait, oh, happy campers are we.
[G] Around the trailer [A] in a caravan, [G] the kids are gone, [A] we have [Em] no plan.
You [A] navigate [D] on your [G] engine, man.

I'm a same to you too, sonny.
