Farewell to Kuri Puku Bay

Farewell to Kuri Puku Bay

Farewell Kuri Puku Bay,
Soon we must be on our way:
We know we're just hicks with lots to learn—
We'll come back to the sticks though with money to burn.
Now we're off to Windyville;
We'll be thinking of you 'till
We come riding down the hill,
Back to Kuri Puku Bay.

Farewell fellow citizens,
Here's until we meet again:
This Gin that we're selling is really the goods;
We'll steer the old Government clear out of the woods.
'Save the country is our aim:
They will make old Mum a Dame;
One things certain—we'll bring fame
Back to Kuri Puku Bay.

We'll be off at break of day.
Bear in mind tho' what we say:
Wherever we wander land, sea or foam.
We'll always remember there's no place like home.
Now the hour of parting nears—
But let's throw away our cares,
Soon we'll all be millionaires
Back in Kuri Puku Bay.
