Lyrics

Know who you look like
Like someone on the TV
Think you could use a drink
But what is it gonna be

Where's my little Kiwi friend
Why oh why didn't you talk the talk
Hey where's your little New York
Can we only walk the walk

(background: Oo, ooo)
Take me up to Alice Springs
(background: Yea-ea-ea-eah)
I got all day to get everywhere
(background: Oo, ooo)
A couple of beers and a phone call brings
(background: Yea-ea-ea-eah)
A sweet day, la la la la, to meet you there
I'll meet you there, I'll meet you there

Order a round on our barkeep
Leave a little fun for us tonight
Drink you under the table and sleep
You work here for the atmosphere
La la la la la la, Oh, la la la la la la

(background: Oo, ooo)
Take me up to Alice Springs
(background: Yea-ea-ea-eah)
I got all day to get everywhere
(background: Oo, ooo)
A couple of beers and a phone call brings
(background: Yea-ea-ea-eah)
A sweet day, la la la la, to meet you there
I'll meet you there, I'll meet you there

Two pots of coffee tomorrow
Flying upside down in thirst
We ride to take the Outback
While they slide into first

(background: Oo, ooo)
Take me up to Alice Springs
(background: Yea-ea-ea-eah)
I got all day to get everywhere
(background: Oo, ooo)
A couple of beers and a phone call brings
(background: Yea-ea-ea-eah)
A sweet day, la la la la, to meet you there

(background: Oo, ooo)
Take me up to Alice Springs
(background: Yea-ea-ea-eah)
I got all day to get everywhere
(background: Oo, ooo)
A couple of beers and a phone call brings
(background: Yea-ea-ea-eah)
A sweet day, la la la la, to meet you there
I'll meet you there, I'll meet you there
