[Verse] In the dead of night, where the kangaroos roam Lurks the Bunyip, a monster of old From the Dreamtime stories, to the present day fears It'll drag you down, to the billabong's tears [Chorus] Oh, the outback's got its terrors, and its legends too From the bush to the desert, there's things that'll see you through Snakes, spiders, and crocs, they'll all take their toll In the Australian outback, where the dangers unfold [Verse 2] The Yowie's howling, in the moon's silver light A creature of mystery, a beast of the night The drop bears are waiting, in the gum trees above Ready to drop down, and show you their love [Chorus] Oh, the outback's got its terrors, and its legends too From the bush to the desert, there's things that'll see you through Snakes, spiders, and crocs, they'll all take their toll In the Australian outback, where the dangers unfold [Bridge] And then there's the real ones, the ones that'll kill The box jellyfish, the funnel-web's deadly still The saltwater crocs, the great whites in the sea In the outback, you're not always free [Chorus] Oh, the outback's got its terrors, and its legends too From the bush to the desert, there's things that'll see you through Snakes, spiders, and crocs, they'll all take their toll In the Australian outback, where the dangers unfold [Outro] So if you venture out, into the outback's heart Just remember the terrors, that'll tear you apart But don't let fear hold you back, from the beauty that's found In the Australian outback, where the legends resound.
