(Spoken):

and he gets himself up on one elbow and he turns to his mates,  
who are gathered 'round him, and he says:  
   
G                  C          D                  G     
Watch me wallabies feed mate, Watch me wallabies feed  
G                   C           D                     G     
They're a dangerous breed mate, So watch me wallabies feed
