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 am 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 Because 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
