   D
Oh happy travellers are we

   G                   A
around Australia in a caravan

the kids are gone, we have no plan

you navigate, I'm your engine man

[Verse 2]
    D
and king of the road are we

G                     A
up a mountain road we wind

       G               A
with a mile of traffic stuck behind

     G          A        D         Bm
two friendlier folk you wouldn't find

[Chorus]
      G
we've hit the road|.

and sold the home||

       A                D
like a pair of drover's round we roam

G                  D        Bm
no more winter and no more phone

we're wild and fancy free
[Verse 3]
       D
and a pair of toilers are we

we'll pick fruit or prune a tree

     G                  A
any old job doesn't worry me

it'll cover our fuel and the camping fee

     G          A        D
ah, frugal old farts are we
[Verse 4]
      D
and a dear old chook are you

        G               A
in your terry towelling dressing gown

     G                     A
the one you bought in the country town

G        A         D       Bm
yours is pink and mine is brown

     G         A        D
threadbare old farts are we
[Chorus]
           G
Yeah we've hit the road|.

    D
and sold the home||

       A                D
like a pair of drover's round we roam

no more winter and no more phone

we're wild and fancy free
[Spoken}

[Verse 5]
      D
and a tidy little unit are we

G                         A
everything has a place to be

  G                    A
a jar of coffee and a tin of tea

   G        A      D        Bm
a life for two but not for three

   G        A         D
oh sexy old tarts are we
[Bridge]
       G                D
and we always camp just near the loo

         A            D
cause I have to go at midnight too

G                           D     Bm
dribble, dribble, dribble's all I do
