lyrics

1. YES IM HAPPY TODAY
I'M GOING BACK TO MY FAMILY
BACK TO THE MALLEE WILCANNIA THAT’S MY HOME TOWN
THERE’LL BE CUDDLES AND KISSES ALL ROUND
THEY’LL BE DRINKING IN A CLUB HOTEL
WHEN YOU WALK IN THE PEOPLE ARE HAPPY AND LOUD

CH: I GUESS THAT’S JUST THE OLD WILCANNIA WAY
THATA’S THE HOME TOWN OF MY FAMILY
WHEN WE PASS WE’LL GO BACK TO THE PLACE WE’ WILL STAY
WHEN WE PASS WE’LL GO BACK TO THE DREAMTIME WAY

2. WELL IT WAS JUST ON DARK
ME AND THE CREW WERE DRINKING IN A PARK
WE HAD A CARTON AND A MOSEY CASK
AND WHEN THE NIGHT CLOSED IN
THEN WE MADE OUR WAY TO THE MALLEE
THAT’S WHERE WE SAT AND WE PARTIED ALL NIGHT

CH: I GUESS THAT’S JUST THE OLD WILCANNIA WAY ETC… X2
