Don’t you take my gum tree Right from under me Then welcome back my gum tree An insult that would be Don’t you dare to welcome me Back to my own gum tree I have no other home you see The only one for me I live up high where life is green Am hardly ever seen Where dreams are sweet and life serene The only place for me Please protect my habitat From the dirty rats Please protect my habitat From the feral cats I must sleep all day Conserve my energy Eat eucalyptus leaves My only territory I like to stay so cosy When perched up on that branch Don’t you take it from me When given half a chance Don’t you dare to welcome me Back to my own gum tree I have no other home you see The only one for me
