<poem>Living in the bush
Living in the bush
Roly-poly bushman
Running for the busman
You can't sit on by
Walks a man in push neck tie


I'm so fast
You can't ???
I'm so sly
Watch a man in bush necktie
I'm so fast, I'm so sly
Ask me why I don't try
Ask me why I don't try


Living in the bush
Living in the bush
Running for the busman
Roly-poly bushman
 
Your mommy looks so sweet
Your mommy looks so sweet
To eat
To eat

Throw the bones in my mouth
Throw the bones in my mouth
Ten feet high, six wide
Ten feet high, six wide
Rolling to the bushman
Roll it to the bushman
