Billy Tea Camping

I remember nights under a blanket of stars Camping by the river away from our cars Sitting round the fire the glow in our eyes The laughter and the stories neath the vast open skies With a billy on the flames boiling water just right For a cup of warm tea on a cool crisp night Throw in the Billy tea swing it round Three times in a circle let the fun abound Sippin on the flavor as the embers glow Eating damper too it's an Aussie show Oh it's an Aussie thing to do With friends by the fire under skies so blue The crackle of the wood the whispers in the breeze Memories in the making moments that please Passing round the damper fresh from the coals Warmth in our hearts sharing stories and strolls Every sip's a moment every laugh's a tune With the stars as our witness and the bright silver moon Throw in the Billy tea swing it round Three times in a circle let the fun abound Sippin on the flavor as the embers glow Eating damper too it's an Aussie show Oh it's an Aussie thing to do With friends by the fire under skies so blue The crackle of the wood the whispers in the breeze Memories in the making moments that please Passing round the damper fresh from the coals Warmth in our hearts sharing stories and strolls Every sip's a moment every laugh's a tune With the stars as our witness and the bright silver moon Throw in the Billy tea swing it round Three times in a circle let the fun abound Sippin' on the flavor as the embers glow Eating damper too it's an Aussie show Oh it's an Aussie thing to do With friends by the fire under skies so blue So gather round my friends let's seal the night With a toast to the good times the warmth and the light In this wild beautiful land where our spirits fly free Camping with each other is where we all want to be Throw in the Billy tea swing it round Three times in a circle let the fun abound Sippin on the flavor as the embers glow Eating damper too it's an Aussie show Oh it's an Aussie thing to do With friends by the fire under skies so blue So here's to the moments the laughter and cheer Camping by the fire we hold close and dear With the billy boiling water and memories anew Oh it's an Aussie thing just me and you
