lyrics

Platypus in the Broken River - Ken McDonald

Not too far from the Pacific Ocean
There’s a place to get away from the heat and commotion
It’ll put your mind right back in slow motion
In the heat of the summertime

The platypus living in the Broken River
He doesn’t want to quibble he doesn’t want to shiver
He just want to settle down and lay a few eggs
In the heat of the summertime

Old man platypus says what a lark
Swimming up and down in a national park
People coming down to have a look around
In the heat of the summertime
Chorus
Platypus master of the backstroke
Yeah he can eat the butterfly
He’d never been a one to take to breastroke
Freestyle well that’s his life
The platypus shoulda been a Wahoo
You never know what he’s gonna do
He doesn’t buy goggles and he doesn’t need flippers
He can tumble turn like the loop the loop

Up first thing at the crack of dawn
Try to see the platypus feeling like a prawn
Don’t see a thing you try to-morrow morning
In the heat of the summertime

Up around Eungella’s national park
The platypus comes out at night plays in the dark
Daytime never turned him on for a start
In the heat of the summertime

Instrumental break
Chorus

The platypus living in the Broken River
He doesn’t want to quibble he doesn’t want to shiver
He just want to settle down and lay a few eggs
In the heat of the summertime
