[Verse] From the land o' red dust and burning sun Where the didgeridoo's cry Moonlight fun Dance with the kangaroo in the moon's glow While the koala dreams Soft and slow [Verse 2] Oh The platypus swims 'neath the night sky Wombat tunnels deep where shadows lie Echoes of the kookaburra's wild call Through gum trees tall Growing Never small [Chorus] This wild land sings a fierce Untamed tune Possum's whisper meets the fierce emu's swoon Echidna's quills and quokka's sky-high leap Crocodile's grin in the river Dark and deep [Verse 3] In the twilight The bilby makes its start With a nimble step and a guarded heart The emu struts proud 'neath the Southern Cross In a dance of freedom Of gain and loss [Verse 4] The quokka spins tales by the campfire's blaze Stories of yonder Of ancient days Where the wild ones roved far and wide In this land's embrace No place to hide [Chorus] This wild land sings a fierce Untamed tune Possum's whisper meets the fierce emu's swoon Echidna's quills and quokka's sky-high leap Crocodile's grin in the river Dark and deep
