Yellow tail goanna

You are a warden

Keeping after the dirt track

Three times I passed

Three times you stopped me

Crossing and recrossing the track

I wonder what you are doing

Then I see you tail

And I know

Going up the tree trunk

Terrorising nesting birds

Tail pretending

To be a snake chasing you

Oh yellow tail goanna 

You don't fool me!
