Gumboots          John Clarke, alias Fred Dagg

Gumboots they are wonderful, gumboots they are swell,
They keep out the water, and they keep in the smell,
And when you're sitting 'round at home, you can always tell,
When one of the Trevs has taken off his gumboots.

	If it weren't for your gumboots where would you be?
	You'd be in the hospital or infirmary,
	For you would have a dose of the 'flu, or even pleurisy,
	If you did't have your feet in your gumboots!

Now there's rugby boots and racing boots and boots for drinking rum,
But the only boots I'm never without are the ones that start with gum,
I've got short ones and long ones, some up to me belt,
I'm not dressed till I've got on me gumboots.

			Chorus

Now Rob Muldoon and Rowling, they haven't made a hit,
They're ruining the country, more than just a bit,
If they keep on the way they are going, we'll all be in turds,
So you'd better get your feet in your gumboots.

		Chorus

(falsetto):
Whenever I sing at the Opera, me gumboots are a must!
They help me hit the high notes, and protect me feet from du-u-u-u-u-ust!
They keep the water well away, so me voice won't get no rrrrrust.
You won't not never see me - without me gumboots!
