lyrics

There's something in the greenhouse straining at the roots
Snapping at the windows, harmless flies and passers-by
Old Uncle Bunkum in his yellow boots
Rolling up the barbed-wire, piling papers on the fire

Nobody knows what my uncle knows
Nobody knows what my uncle grows
Word is he's now on to something new
Nobody knows but arooba rooba rooba

There's something in the homestead turning on the lights
Snapping at the windows, formulating strategies
Old Uncle Bunkum grafting through the night
Giving out the orders to his new herbaceous borders

Nobody knows what my uncle knows
Nobody knows what my uncle grows
Word is he's now on to something new
Nobody knows but arooba rooba rooba

There's something by the roadside stamping on the flowers
Snapping at the windows - out to get the carburettor
Old Uncle Bunkum, yellow daisy-roots
Collar up, looking round, moving to another town

Nobody knows what my uncle knows
Nobody knows what my uncle grows
Word is he's now on to something new
Nobody knows but arooba rooba rooba
