BOOMERANG
Author(s): Cephas, Jeremy
Songbook: Keep On Believing
KeyWords: Pioneering,

Verse One: [spoken]
If you visit the Australian outback
And you see an Aborigine tribe,
They'll use a peculiar weapon
That's a little bit hard to describe.

Well, it's made of wood, in the shape of a "V"
And, bluey, it's strange but true!
The amazing thing's when you fling the thing,
It flies right back to you!

Chorus: [sung]
It's a boomerang! It's a boomerang!
It's a boomerang flyin' back to you!
It's a boomerang! It's a boomerang-hang!
It's a boomerang flyin' back to you!

Verse Two: [spoken]
Now the funny thing about the boomerang
Is like life and how you live it.
The good and bad we do or say
Comes back the way we give it!

So take a tip from me, mate,
Or you're in for a big surprise!
Watch out 'cause what you're flingin' about
Will come back and whack you
Right between the eyes!

[Repeat Chorus]

Bridge One:
What you do will come back to you
In a day or maybe next week!
It don't really matter how long it takes,
What you sow, you know
The same you're gonna reap!

[Repeat Chorus]

Bridge Two:
Like the law of gravity,
What goes up, must come down!
So if people have been treatin' you mean,
Take a good look at the boomerang
You've been throwin' around!

[Repeat Chorus Twice]

Ending: [spoken]

Well, I'd best be gettin' along now!
It's a ways to walk home!
Anyway, I hope you've benefitted
From my words of advice.
You see, I learned the hard way!
'Bye!
