Welcome All to Broome - John Williamson

Well I grabbed my camera, grabbed my zoom

Left my guitar in the hotel room

A few days here, I must presume

To know enough about life in Broome

Well I met this dark-eyed local girl

Has no time for mother o' pearl

The golf course and palm trees

The local girl likes none of these

She likes red sand and blue seas

Bush tucker in the trees

Give me wet season if you please

Sandpiper, gentle breeze

Well I talked to a man who has big dreams

Of multi-million dollar schemes

Of tourists pouring in in teems

Broome is not just what it seems

The holy dollar plays the tune

Original people movin' soon

All gone out to desert moon

Far away, away

From the red sand and blue seas

Bush tucker in the trees

Give me wet season if you please

Sandpiper, gentle breeze

Gotta make this place respectable

Build a monster shopping mall

Paint a dragon on the wall

Bring your money, one and all

Do we welcome all to Broome

Do we welcome all to Broome

Welcome all to Broome

Welcome all to Broome
