lyrics

If you see a bilby
you’d better hold your breath
because a herd of bilbies
could nuzzle you to death.

If you see a wallaby you’d better
watch your back you
might die of boredom
waiting for a wallaby to attack you.

Australia is a dangerous place. Australia is a dangerous place
Australia is a dangerous place. Australia is a dangerous place

If you see a koala
look out and beware
because a koala might brush past you
with its soft and silky hair.

If you see a green tree frog
hold onto your lunch stay perfectly still
because if a frog jumps into your sandwich
it will make both of you ill.

Australia is a dangerous place. Australia is a dangerous place
Australia is a dangerous place. Australia is a dangerous place

You’re not taking me seriously.
I can see the smile on your face
But a platypus could wipe that off.
Australia is a dangerous place. Australia is a dangerous place
Australia is a dangerous place.
Australia is a dangerous country.
