DIDGERIDOO

Under the Eucalyptus tree,
There sat an Aborigine
Picked up a hollow log and blew.
Out came the sounds of the didgeridoo.

Blow, blow, blow.
Blow on your didgeridoo

Back in the days of early dreams,
lived the creator Byamee.
He made the earth and the sky of blue.
Blew out his song on the didgeridoo.

The Mopoke’s an Owl,
he hoots at the moon.
Late at night you can hear him croon.
The Mopoke’s call sounds
much like “Hoo!”
Here’s how it sounds on the digeridoo.

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree,
Merry, merry king of the bush is he.
Waking the world with his laughing tune.
Here’s how it sounds on the digeridoo.

Out in Australia’s back country
The dingo dog runs wild and free.
Barks at the sun and howls at the moon.
Here’s how it sounds on the didgeridoo.
