My Boomerang Won't Come Back

My Boomerang Won't Come Back - Charlie Drake/Wanda Wolfe

Oom yacka wurka

Oom yacka wurka

Oom yacka wurka

In the bad back lands of Australia

Many years ago

The aborigine tribes were meeting

Having a big pow wow

We got a lot of trouble Chief

On account of your son Mack

My boy Mack

Why what's wrong with him

My boomerang won't come back

Your boomerang won't come back

My boomerang won't come back

My boomerang won't come back

I've waved the thing all over the place

Practiced till I was black in the face

I'm a big disgrace to the Aborigine race

My boomerang won't come back

I can ride a kangaroo

Yeah yeah

Make Kinkajou stew

Yeah yeah

But I'm a big disgrace to the aborigine race

My boomerang won't come back

They banished him from the tribe then

And sent him on his way

He had a backless boomerang

So here he could not stay

This is nice innit

Getting banished at my time of life

What a way to spend an evening

Sitting on a rock in the middle of the desert

With me boomerang in me hand

I shall very likely get bushwhacked

Get out of it you nasty bushwhacking animal

Think I'll make a nice cup of tea

Doing doing doing

Doing

Good gracious there goes a kangaroo

I must have a practice with me boomerang

Hit him right behind the left ear hole

Now then slowly back

If you throw that thing at me

I'll jump right on your head

Innit marvelous

Got a land full of kangaroos

And I had to pick that one

For three long months he sat there

Or maybe it was four

Then an old old man in a kangaroo skin

Came a knocking at his door

I'm the local witch doctor son

They call me George Alfred Black

Now tell me what's your trouble boy

My boomerang won't come back

Your boomerang won't come back

My boomerang won't come back

My boomerang won't come back

I've waved the thing all over the place

Practiced till I was black in the face

I'm a big disgrace to the aborigine race

My boomerang won't come back

Don't worry boy I know the trick

And to you I'm gonna show it

If you want your boomerang to come back

Well first you've got to throw it

Ooh yes never thought of that

Daddy will be pleased

Must have a go

Excuse me

Now then slowly back and throw

Ooh my God

I've hit the flying doctor

Can you do first aid

Don't talk to me about first aid

Voy you owe me fourteen chickens

You know when I learned

You to throw the boomerang

You know first things first

Yes I know that but I mean

I think on this occasion you know

You could be a bit more perspective
