Palm and Me We built a gunya in the bush For a love nest bungalow We carted wood and tools by boat On tides both high and low With hammer, nail and roofing iron We made a cosy hut We decked it out with double bed And a door that we could shut Downstairs had a kitchen and up above a loft A kero lamp took pride of place With a doona nice and soft On open day we took our boat Alongside the wooden jetty And loaded up the Island girls all dressed up looking pretty We cruised along the blue lagoon from north to South at sunset To discover that our shack was gone That caused us quite an upset The look upon our faces must have caused the girls to laugh The only thing that was sitting there Was the old claw foot bath A note we found upon the tree Explained the situation Hi lads this is your Uncle Ray I understand your exasperation But the bush is free and not to be a place for this construction I took it all down to the dump Sorry for the sad destruction (Guitar break) With heavy hearts we loaded up The laughing girls in tow And motored back into the dark With nothing left to show The girls dropped off We made our way to the beachside bar-b-que And made our plans For a fresh secret spot our love shack to renew So ends the tale of two young lads A friendship that is forever Those memories of best of times and adventures made together Ooh adventures together Ooh adventures together Remembering that old claw foot bath How funny That old claw foot bath (Guitar)
