lyrics

Bill was a lean and wiry bloke
Been droving sheep for 20 years
He'd seen it all on the Victorian tracks
But never had he seen the likes of this

As the sun was setting in the west
And the last rays glinted on the water
He thought he saw some movement
And then he lost two sheep

Quiet as you like it was
Not a struggle or a splash
Just a ripple on the water
And they were gone

But I've seen this all before
Last month up at Murchison
Just as dusk was falling
A young boy was there, and then he'd gone

Quiet as you like it was
Not a struggle or a splash
Just a ripple on the water
And the young boy was gone

Some say it's just in your head
Some say it's a trick of the light
But I know what it really is
It's the ancient Aussie beast

Diprotodon be damned
It's not a hippo or a manatee
It has a thousand Aussie names
But to me it is the Bunyip

Quiet as you like they are
Not a struggle or a splash
Just a ripple on the water
And you are gone
