There is a place I know,
A south sea isle,
And if you want to go,
You'll stay awhile;
For when the sun shines on the water,
On that coral shore,
It's simply grand,
You're bound to love it more and more.

In Tarrabonga,
You'll want to linger longer,
When you start counting the stars
On the Milky Way.
In Tarrabonga
Where natives sing a songa,
And strum upon their guitars
All the live long day,
You'll see them dancing,
Dusky maidens so entrancing,
With sweet romancing
Steal your heart away,
In Tarrabonga,
You'll have to linger longer,
But then beware if you stay,
You'll go native some day.

In Tarrabonga,
You'll want to linger longer,
When you start counting the stars
On the Milky Way.
In Tarrabonga
Where natives sing a songa,
And strum upon their guitars
All the live long day,
You'll see them dancing,
Dusky maidens so entrancing,
With sweet romancing
Steal your heart away,
In Tarrabonga,
You'll have to linger longer,
But then beware if you stay,
You'll go native some day.

Upon a sandy beach
You'll want to play,
The moon within your reach,
At close of day;
And when the leafy palms
Are swaying in the ocean breeze,
You'll want to stay
Where you can lead a life of ease.

In Tarrabonga,
You'll want to linger longer,
When you start counting the stars
On the Milky Way.
In Tarrabonga
Where natives sing a songa,
And strum upon their guitars
All the live long day,
You'll see them dancing,
Dusky maidens so entrancing,
With sweet romancing
Steal your heart away,
In Tarrabonga,
You'll have to linger longer,
But then beware if you stay,
You'll go native some day.

In Tarrabonga,

When you start counting the stars
On the Milky Way.

Where natives sing a songa,
And strum upon their guitars
All the live long day,
You'll see them dancing,
Dusky maidens so entrancing,
With sweet romancing
Steal your heart away,
In Tarrabonga,
You'll have to linger longer,
But then beware if you stay,
You'll go native some day.
