[F] A sheep, a [Eb] turk, a [F] kangaroo, a clothesline out the back
[Gm] A veranda [C] out the front [Gm] and an [C] old [F] rocking chair
You can see me in the kitchen
[Gm] Cooking up [C] a roast [Gm] or veg him [C] out on toast
[F] Just you and [Db] me a cup of tea and later on we'll settle [Gm] down and go out on [C] the porch
[Gm] And [C] watch the possums [F] play
