Crarlie Drake - My Boomerang Won't Come Back
In the bad bad lands of Australia many years ago
The Aborigine tribes were meeting, having a big pow-wow
We've got a lot of trouble Chief, on account of your son Mac
My boy Mac, 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 t' the Aborigine race
My boomerang won't back
I can ride a kangaroo (yeah yeah)
Make kangaroo stew (yeah yeah)
But I'm a big disgrace t' the Aborigine race
My boomerang won't back
They banished him from the tribes' lair & sent him on his way
He had a backless boomerang, so here he could not stay
This is nice, isn't it? Getting banished at my time in 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 should very likely get bushwhacked. (animal shriek) Get out of here
nasty bushwhacking animal! Think I'll make a nice cup of tea. (boing boing boing) Good gracious! There goes a kangaroo! I must have practice with me boomerang. Hit him right behind the left earhole, then slowly back... (kangaroo): If you throw that thing at me, I'll jump right on your head! (laughs) (prince): Ain't it marvelous! In a land full of kangaroos I had to get 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 Joe Joseph 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 t' the Aborigine race
My boomerang won't 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
Oh yes, never thought of that. Daddy will be pleased. Must have a go
Excuse me. Now then, slowly back... and throw! (sound of boomerang flying)
Auroplane noises
Oh my God! I've hit the flying doctah
He-he-he-he
Can you do first aid
Don't talk to me about first aid boy you owe me 14 chickens for you know
Teaching you to throw the boomerang... first things first
Yes, I know that, but I mean, I think, on this occasion, you know... (fades out)
