LET'S KILL BLINKY BILL

The kangaroos are breeding up
there's emus everywhere
The dingoes eat the farmers sheep
and snakes give us a scare

There's camels and there's donkeys
there's buffalo and pigs
but worst of all is Blinky Bill
turns gum trees into twigs

We've cut down all their forests
and fenced off all the trees
and brought a bunch of rabbits in
and then gave them all disease

We bred up hordes of cane toads
to eat the beetles up
and now we find that Blinky Bill
on gum leaves likes to sup!

An evil little creature
that sits up in the trees
Don't let that cute face fool you
his hide is full of fleas

There's only one solution
to deal with Blinky Bill
we'll go out and we'll shoot him
he 'aint too hard to kill

Twenty thousand fuzzy bears
we'll blow them all away
That's how Parks and Wildlife
protects the bush today

Of all our native fauna
the easiest to kill
the poor old sad koala
Goodbye Blinky Bill
