It's Rush hour
On Buffalo Swamp Road
Five 'o clock in winter time
Time to rush
To grab some food
Before dusk
In the last minutes of daylight
Kangaroos galore abound
Madly bounding around
Rabbits or hares
Darting in front of the wheels
Dashing here and there
All in a tutter
They had all day
Really to graze
Visit and rest
So what's the hurry?
At least I get the rabbits
They've got a warm warren
To go back to
But the Roos
Will battle the deep winter night
Without a shelter
So tell me
What's the rush?
