Charlie Drake - My Boomerang Won't Come Back Lyrics
In the bad, bad lands ofAustralia many years agoThe Aborigine tribes were meetingHaving a big pow wowWe've got a lot of trouble, ChiefOn account of your son, MacMy boy Mac, what's wrong with himMy boomerang won't come backYour boomerang won't come back[Chorus:]My boomerang won't come backMy boomerang won't come backI've waved the thing all over the placePracticed till I was black in the faceI'm a big disgrace to the Aborigine raceMy boomerang won't backI can ride a kangaroo (yeah, yeah)Make kinkijou stew (yeah, yeah)But I'm a big disgraceTo the Aborigine raceMy boomerang won't come backThey banished himFrom the tribes thenAnd sent him on his wayHe had a backless boomerangSo here he could not stayThis is nice, isn't itGetting banished at my time in lifeWhat a way to spend an eveningSitting on a rock in theMiddle of the desert withMe boomerang in me handFor three long months he sat thereOr maybe it was fourThen an old, old manIn a kangaroo skin cameA-knocking at his doorI'm the local witch doctor, sonThey call me George Alfred BlackNow tell me, what's your trouble, boyMy boomerang won't come backYour boomerang won't come back[Repeat chorus]Don't worry, boyI know the trickAnd to you, I'm gonna show itIf you want yourBoomerang to come backWell, first you've got to throw itOh, yes, never thought of thatNow then, slowly back and throw[Repeat chorus]I can ride a kangaroo (yeah, yeah)Make kinkijou stew (yeah, yeah)But I'm a big disgraceTo the Aborigine raceMy boomerang won't come back
