Starts in the mountains where the rain is falling,
Makes a thousand trickling streams,
Wallaby resting, platypus nesting,
Lizard and snake wake from dreams.
Run run river got the cool cool water
Got the bright Kingfisher and the bat.
Got the wombat munching and the bandicoot lunching,
The trout and the yabby and the rat (bush rat)
The trout and the yabby and the rat.
Roll on river getting deeper and wider
Home for the catfish and the cod,
Wetland soaking and the frogs are croaking
And the tortoise in the billabong.
Roll on river meet the sea salt water
And the dolphins playing on the tide,
The kids are splashing and the bright bream flashing
And the sea stretches far and wide
The sea stretches far and wide ...
[See what's happened?]
We've come down to the ocean where the sun is shining
Takes water up, up, up to make the clouds;
Wind is blowing, clouds are rolling,
Back to the mountains where the rain comes down.
