Dumb Ways To Cark It

[Verse 1] Lick that blue ring on the sand Pat the snake Give it your hand Kick a roo Call it a horse Stand behind an emu Of course Drive through floodwater “she’ll be right” Chase a goanna in ya thongs at night Take a selfie with a wild pig’s snout Wander off the track when the map runs out [Chorus] Dumb ways to cark it Out where the red dust flies Dumb ways to cark it Under those big hot skies Dumb ways to cark it So many dumb ways to cark it [Verse 2] Use a croc as a floating log Race a ute through morning fog Swat a wasp nest with your hat Say “nice doggy” to a wild bush cat Drink warm beer left in the ute all day Ignore that “Total Fire Ban” sign anyway Sleep in boots with the laces loose Trip on a rock while you’re chasing a goose [Chorus] Dumb ways to cark it Sunburnt and full of flies Dumb ways to cark it Waving at stormy skies Dumb ways to cark it So many dumb ways to cark it [Bridge] Skip the hat Skip the spray (what could go wrong?) Carry one small bottle for a three‑day walk (too long) Say “nah Mate I don’t need a guide” Hop a farm fence for a shortcut ride (hey!) Tell a drop bear “you’re a myth” Laugh as the ranger pleads “don’t do this” [Chorus] Dumb ways to cark it Kissed by a mozzie swarm Dumb ways to cark it Dehydrated Far from home Dumb ways to cark it So many dumb ways So many dumb ways to cark it
