Eucalyptus Globulous


I love songs about:

The ringer in the top end.

The horse in the long yard.

The stockman with a thirst for beer.

 

I also love songs about my here and now:

Such as one about The Queens Domain covered by native bush.

Dance on the Deck


Let's dance the way we did in the good old days.
Dance on the deck.
Hear it on Sound Cloud.
 

Let’s dance the way we did in the good old days.

You showed me how. You showed me every way.

It’s a marvellous night to dance on the deck.

Any way we want. We hold a blank cheque.

Our kids dream they are watching us dance on the deck.

They don’t believe it but hey what the heck.

Can I have one more dance with you.

My everlasting Partner. For ever it’s true.

 

Dance on the deck

Dance on the deck

It’s  night 

Hold me tight

Everything’s all right 

Sway and swing 

Come on in.

Dance on the deck

You know it’s no sin

   

The stars twinkle down and show us how.

Come on come on dance on the deck now.

The clothes line spins. The clothes line twirls.

Ready to take-off. It goes round the world.

Sing the words and twist and twirl.

Spin faster, faster blast off and Whorl.

Can I hold you tight. Wrap me up warm for the night.

Always right. You are a glorious sight.

 

Dance on the deck

Dance on the deck

It’s  night 

Hold me tight

Everything’s all right 

Sway and swing 

Come on in.

Dance on the deck

You know its no sin

 

Whisper in my ear and tell me. Please tell me.  

If I’m in heaven or alive as can be.

I am dancing on the deck. This is heaven on earth.

The moon shines down for all its worth.

Sparkling stars in the sky. Twinkling stars in your eyes.

We will  dance until the stars sleep and the sun rise.

The magic in the air makes you whisper and blush.

The music beats on as I whisper quiet and hush.
