- Please correct my mistakes, thanks :) - lovely_lovel Mar 11, 2011 flag
- "Massive" isn't capitalized..."tsunami that struck in Japan..."Struck is past tense that has to match "destroyed".. - amykay Mar 11, 2011 flag
- This has a ver difficult translation: I'd suggest: "Los terremotos masivos tras el tsunami de Japón destruyeron muchas casas" - cogumela Mar 11, 2011 flag

Me encanta una casa entre eucaliptos
I love a house among the gum trees.
I've been around the world
A couple of times or maybe more
I've seen the sights, I've had delights
On every foreign shore
But when my mates all ask me
The place that I adore
I tell them right away
Give me a home among the gumtrees
With lots of plum trees
A sheep or two, a k-kangaroo
A clothesline out the back
Verandah out the front
And an old rocking chair
You can see me in the kitchen
Cooking up a roast
Or Vegemite on toast
Just you and me, a cup of tea
And later on, we'll settle down
And go out on the porch
And watch the possums play
Give me a home among the gumtrees
With lots of plum trees
A sheep or two, a k-kangaroo
A clothesline out the back
Verandah out the front
And an old rocking chair
