lyrics

Swamp Chicken Boogie
(by J Carden/ T Palmer)

Moonlight down at the dock
Hight time for shooting croc
Load up the tinnie
Got the Bundy Rum
Scope out her mum's favourite gun
My crackshot woman's got a 303
And a swamp Chicken Boogie killer recipe

Swamp Chicken Boogie
In the pan
Swamp Chicken Boogie
Bush chili jam
Swamp Chicken Boogie
Cajun Style
Swamp Chicken Boogie
Outback Wild

Death roll daddy deep in the mud
Only comes out for a bucket of blood
He aint no skinny little lizard from the River Nile
He's a 6 foot salt water crocodile
Drag him back to the fishing camp
You'd better watch out for that ranger, man

Chorus

Eyes reflecting in the light
Unsuspecting in the sight
My baby stands up on her country thighs
And plugs that lizard right between the eyes
