Oh, I am a cheat
And I'm a liar
Oh, but you're a loving
Ball of fire
I'll leave you like a bum
Without a penny
And while I'm home
With the blues
I'll be hoping
Like a kangaroo
When I get off
Of that fast boat to Sydney
I said listen to me, babe
I gave up the loving trade
I'm tired of all this running
Jumping, playing
But you're like it down
Under the world
With the Australian girls
And there's not a word of truth
In what you're saying
Oh, but I'm a cheat
And I'm a liar
And you're a loving
Ball of fire
Honey, I'll leave you like a bum
Without a penny
And while I'm home
With the blues
I'll be hoping
Like a kangaroo
When I get off
Of that fast boat to Sydney
This is my greatest act
I've come boom a ranging back
Grinning like a Rudolf Valentino
But then you grab your travel load
Like a swinging grimming dog
And hopped
On that fast boat to Sydney
Cause I am a cheat
And I'm a liar
But you're a loving
Ball of fire
Honey, I'll leave you like a bum
Without a penny
And while I'm home
With the blues
I'll be hoping
Like a kangaroo
When I get off
Of that fast boat to Sydney
