Oh I am a cheat and I´m a liar
Oh but you´re a loving ball of fire
I´ll leave you like a bum without a penny
And while I´m home with the blues
I´ll be hoping like a kangaroo

When I get off of that fast boat to Sydney

I said listen to me babe
I gave up the loving trade
I´m tired of all this running jumping playing
But you´re like it down under
The world with the Australian girls
And there´s not a word of truth in what you´re saying

Oh I am a cheat and I´m a liar
Oh but you´re a loving ball of fire
I´ll leave you like a bum without a penny
And while I´m home with the blues
I´ll be hoping like a kangaroo
When I get off of that fast boat to Sydney

This is my greatest act

I´ve come boom a ranging back
Grinning like a Rudolf Valentino
But then you grab your travel load
Like a swinging grimming dog
And hopped on that fast boat to Sydney

Because I am a cheat and I´m a liar
Oh but you´re a loving ball of fire
I´ll leave you like a bum without a penny
And while I´m home with the blues
I´ll be hoping like a kangaroo
When I get off of that fast boat to Sydney
