step aside in awe
most lively mates and friends -
look, look - this is the taipan;
step aside and behold
a true blue Aussie babe!
it’s our Dreamtime babe
designed to put anyone in place;
loves the coastline
and oh does it have a sweet tooth -
for it just loves to hang out
in sugarcane fields!
But Ouch! – watch out for its
venomous tooth too -
for after all,
most lively mates and friends,
it 's got the world’s deadliest bite
loves mostly mammals
don’t worry, friends -
he, he, he –
you’re lucky folks,
it’s small mammals mostly
like rats and small rodents and
bandicoots –
but then you’d be right to be afraid
cos some of us are rats, aren’t we?
step aside in awe
most lively mates and friends -
look, look - this is the taipan;
step aside and behold
a true blue Aussie babe!
you don’t want to meet it
face to fang
right before you;
twelve feet it can grow to
you’d be downright nervous
to see it before you
in the fields;
but the poor darling
the olive or brown taipan,
this poor lovely babe
it’s nervous, nervous just like you
so step aside in awe
most lively mates and friends -
look, look - this is the taipan;
step aside and behold
a true blue Aussie babe!
