about

feat. Jaime Jackett

lyrics

Goin’ down, down, down to Roebuck Bay
Where the Snubbies play
And the Dugong graze
On seagrass that’s been hidden by the waves

And oh the tide, the tide is high
Ain’t nothin’ for a shorebird to do
But sit idly by
And digest the feast they got inside

Coz’ see! They’ve gotta fly
Far and High
Flapping their tiny wings
Coz’ baby these birds don’t glide
And their fat stores are what gets em by
Coz there may not be much to eat on the other side

So please! Let em rest
Let em rest
And when you’re down in the bay
Please show em’ some respect
We’ve got to share
And we’ve got to care
Coz if we don’t start trying
Soon they’ll no longer be tere

So don’t you humbug the flocks
Of Godwits and Knots
As they sit there in their tight little flocks
Don’t you know
We’re all a part of the whole
Gotta work together now
And that’s something you can do when you go

Down, down, down to Roebuck Bay
Where the Snubbies play
And the Dugong graze
On the seagrass beds that lay hidden by the waves
