Leave

(With th« Proper Acknowledgements) The crowds at night Are big and tight Deep in the heart of Sydney, When I say tight, Why, yes you’re right!

Deep in the heart of Sydney, The trams have seats To rest your feets Deep in the heart of Sydney, But no one sits Since no one fits Deep in the heart of Sydney!

They push along, A million strong, Deep in the heart of Sydney; And when they’ve been They’re just as keen On getting back, in Sydney.

They’ve beaches fair (A few to spare) Deep in the heart of Sydney, And cool, each spot.

But you get hot When getting there, in Sydney.

Along they barge, With parcels large, Deep in the heart of Sydney.

Their faces grim, Their chances dim, Of getting home, in Sydney.

The jungle they Proclaim’s this way (Deep in the heart of Sydney) More jungle ways, They met my gaze Deep in the heart of Sydney!
