Charlie Drake - My Boomerang Won't Come Back lyrics
rate meIn the bad, bad lands of<br />
Australia many years ago<br />
The Aborigine tribes were meeting<br />
Having a big pow wow<br />
<br />
We've got a lot of trouble, Chief<br />
On account of your son, Mac<br />
My boy Mac, what's wrong with him<br />
<br />
My boomerang won't come back<br />
Your boomerang won't come back<br />
<br />
[CHORUS]<br />
My boomerang won't come back<br />
My boomerang won't come back<br />
I've waved the thing all over the place<br />
Practiced till I was black in the face<br />
I'm a big disgrace to the Aborigine race<br />
My boomerang won't back<br />
<br />
I can ride a kangaroo (yeah, yeah)<br />
Make kinkijou stew (yeah, yeah)<br />
But I'm a big disgrace<br />
To the Aborigine race<br />
My boomerang won't come back<br />
<br />
They banished him<br />
From the tribes then<br />
And sent him on his way<br />
He had a backless boomerang<br />
So here he could not stay<br />
<br />
This is nice, isn't it<br />
Getting banished at my time in life<br />
What a way to spend an evening<br />
Sitting on a rock in the<br />
Middle of the desert with<br />
Me boomerang in me hand<br />
<br />
For three long months he sat there<br />
Or maybe it was four<br />
Then an old, old man<br />
In a kangaroo skin came<br />
A-knocking at his door<br />
<br />
I'm the local witch doctor, son<br />
They call me George Alfred Black<br />
Now tell me, what's your trouble, boy<br />
<br />
My boomerang won't come back<br />
Your boomerang won't come back<br />
<br />
[Repeat CHORUS]<br />
<br />
Don't worry, boy<br />
I know the trick<br />
And to you, I'm gonna show it<br />
If you want your<br />
Boomerang to come back<br />
Well, first you've got to throw it<br />
<br />
Oh, yes, never thought of that<br />
Now then, slowly back and throw<br />
<br />
[Repeat CHORUS]<br />
<br />
I can ride a kangaroo (yeah, yeah)<br />
Make kinkijou stew (yeah, yeah)<br />
But I'm a big disgrace<br />
To the Aborigine race<br />
My boomerang won't come back
