[Intro] Down beneath the eucalyptus, Where the dusty red earth lies, There's a little block of trouble With a sparkle in his eyes! [Verse 1] He waddles through the bushland Like he owns the bloody place, With a backside like a battering ram And dirt upon his face. He doesn't need a saddle, He doesn't need a crown, He just keeps on marching With his belly to the ground. [Chorus] Oh, the wombat! The wild old wombat! Low to the ground and wide as a door! He don't run from trouble, He don't care for danger, He just digs another bloody hole! HEY! The wombat! The wild old wombat! King of the burrow and lord of the land! You might think he's cuddly, You might think he's funny, But you'd better not get between him and his plans! [Verse 2] He digs a tunnel through the hillside, He digs it through the clay, And if somebody blocks the entrance, He just digs another way. A fox may come a-sniffing, A dingo may appear, But the wombat keeps on chewing grass Like nothing happened here. [Chorus] Oh, the wombat! The wild old wombat! Low to the ground and wide as a door! He don't run from trouble, He don't care for danger, He just digs another bloody hole! HEY! The wombat! The wild old wombat! King of the burrow and lord of the land! You might think he's cuddly, You might think he's funny, But you'd better not get between him and his plans! [Bridge] He hasn't got the tiger's teeth, He hasn't got the eagle's claws, He hasn't got the lion's roar To shake you to your jaws. But when the bush gets dangerous And everybody starts to flee, The wombat turns around and says: "Mate... You're gonna have to go through me!" [Instrumental Break] [Stomping drums] [Harmonica] [Electric guitar riff] HEY! HEY! HEY! [Final Chorus] Oh, the wombat! The wild old wombat! Rolling like a tank beneath the Southern Cross! He don't need glory, He don't need fame, He just needs grass and a hole in the rocks! The wombat! The wild old wombat! Stubborn as stone and twice as round! When the world goes crazy, He digs down deeper, And waits for the bloody thing to calm down! [Outro] So here's to the wombat, The champion of the ground, Too short to be impressive, Too tough to knock around! If life gets complicated, There's one thing you can do... [Pause] Dig a hole! [Gang Vocals] EAT SOME GRASS! [Lead] BE A WOMBAT! [Band] HEY! [Final Guitar Chord]
