[Verse]
A               G     A
One night while I was walking
A           G             A
Through the middle of the bush
A          G            A
I heard a strange noise coming
A         G         A
From over near the woods
A               G
So I crept over to the place
A               G        A
Where all the aborigines meet
A                 G                  A
As peeked through grass I saw with a gasp
A          G              A
They were dancing to the Rockabilly Beat

[Chorus]
D                    Am
They did the Bop, the Bop,
D                 Am
The Aussie Aussie Bop
D               Am
with no drum or no guitar
D            Am
Just a Didgeridoo
D              Am
and a pair of sticks
E7
They were rockin' underneath the stars

[Verse]
A                      G     A
As I was watching them dance around
A           G       A
one of them spotted me
A                          G      A
Before I knew it there was ten of them
A           G           A
dragging me over to the chief

[Verse]
A                   G     A
The chief he looked real crazy
A            G                A
he had a big bone through his nose
A                    G         A
He said if I didn't dance with him
A                    G  A
he'd chop off all o' my toes

[Chorus]
D                    Am
They did the Bop, the Bop,
D                 Am
The Aussie Aussie Bop
D               Am
with no drum or no guitar
D            Am
Just a Didgeridoo
D              Am
and a pair of sticks
E7
They were rockin' underneath the stars

[Verse]
A               G         A
When I finished doing the Bop
A            G     A
The chief he said to me:
A                       G         A
Hey boy, where did you learn that dance?
A             G       A
You dance the same as me!

[Verse]
A                       G          A
So I told him about the Rockabilly Bop
A        G      A
We do in London Town
A                       G   A
I sang him a song on my old guitar
A                       G         A
And we danced 'till the moon went down

[Chorus]
D                    Am
They did the Bop, the Bop,
D                 Am
The Aussie Aussie Bop
D               Am
with no drum or no guitar
D            Am
Just a Didgeridoo
D              Am
and a pair of sticks
E7
They were rockin' underneath the stars

[Outro]
(Repeat and fade)
   Am                 D
