Tis a story told of long ago
In the outback of Australia
Where dingos roam to hunt for food
And goannas in sunlight basking
Twas there the story goes to say
Lived Malu - Barti - Watou

Now he was green and he was mean
No animal did like him
Made his home amongst the rocks
And Spinifex for shelter
Woe to anything bold enough
Near his lair to tread

A hunter bold and brave
One day did venture outwards
No-one gone so far afield
Looking for provisions
Listened not to stories told
Of Malu - Barti - Watou

Hunter hunted far and wide
For food to feed his family
Travelled nearer, always closer
Following mob of kangaroo
Round the rocks they jumped so quick
Right into deadly danger

A flash of green, was barely seen
As it grabbed all kangaroos
Where once been ten, not one to see
So quickly did it happen
The hunter stopped and stared in shock
'cause of Malu - Barti - Watou

Trembling knees and sweating brow
Twas then the tales remembered
Turned and ran to save his life
Across the stony, rocky desert
Home he ran to tell the tale
Of Malu - Barti - Watou
