Come My Way

My boomerang won't come back

Your boomerang won't come back?

I've waved the thing all over the place

Practiced 'til I was black in the face

I can ride a kangaroo (yeah, yeah)

Make kangaroo stew (yeah, yeah)

He had a backless boomerang, so here he could not stay

Sittin' on a rock in the middle of the desert

With me boomerang in me hand

Think I'll make a nice cup of tea

I must have practice with me boomerang

If you throw that thing at me

I'll jump right on your head

Ain't it marvelous?

Got a land full of kangaroos
The artist is in Australia, where there are many kangaroos.

And I'd a pick that one
The artist thinks it's ironic that he has a boomerang that won't come back, but there are many kangaroos around him.

For three long months he sat there, or maybe it was four
The artist has been alone in the desert for a long time, but he has lost track of how many months have passed.

Then an old old man in a kangaroo skin came a-knockin' at his door
An old man wearing a kangaroo skin comes to visit the singer.

I'm the local witch doctor, son
The old man claims to be a witch doctor.

They call me Joe Joseph Black

Now tell me, what's your trouble, boy?

Don't worry, boy
The old man wants to reassure the singer that he can help him.

I know the trick and to you I'm gonna show it

If you want your boomerang to come back

Well, first you've got to throw it
The old man's trick is to throw the boomerang in order for it to come back.

Oh yes, never thought of that, daddy will be pleased

Must have a girl, hmm

Excuse me

Oh my God

I've hit the flying doctor

Can you do first aid?
The artist is asking if the old man can help the flying doctor.

Don't talk to me about first days, boy
The old man does not want to help the flying doctor and is frustrated with the singer for causing trouble.

You owe me fourteen chickens
The old man is demanding payment from the singer for his help.

Learnt you to throw the boomerang
The old man is reminding the singer that he taught him how to throw the boomerang.

You know, first things first
The old man wants the artist to prioritize paying him back before worrying about finding a girlfriend.

Yes, I know that, but I mean
The artist is trying to explain his thoughts to the old man.

I think, on this occasion, you know you could be a bit more
The singer is interrupted before finishing his thought, and it is unclear what he was going to say next.
