Standard (EADGBE)

Wake early morning, white gums are blooming

 and shedding all its bark

Mushroom clouds are building, monsoon rain is coming

 and the black ants working hard

Bike tube shangeye in my hand, younger folk with lacky bands

 going hunting for the day

Goot goot bird is calling as the rain begins a fallin'

pelting on the ground

Chorus

We should be on our way, to the place we used to play

We're the kids of yesterday

West wind blowing strongly and the mothers are a lonely

 as the kids are out to play

Secret agent doors are opening, cork tree she's crying,

helicopter falling down

Sheet iron roofs are standing, bush flies are a landing

love riding on your back

Cubby house keeps out the sun, sandbombs fly we're having fun

Get your shields boys 'cause here they come - > CHORUS
