Lyrics
If there's anything you need in the great outdoors
There's everything you want and even more
Don't despair I do implore
You'll get it in the Bushveld Department store
Scented pod seeds make good strong coffee
Sweet thorn sap makes very nice toffee
And if you're a cocktail connoisseur
Marula juice makes a fine liqueur
Silver raisin bark makes thread or string
If you want to sew or tie up anything
If you don't have a needle don't be forlorn
You can use a sharp umbrella thorn
If there's anything you need in the great outdoors
There's everything you want and even more
Don't despair I do implore
You'll get it in the Bushveld Department store
If you burnt your food on a fire too hot
Baboon tail plant will scour your pot
If you need a lubricant to oil your gun
You can use the seeds of a Jacket Plum
If you forgot your toothbrush do not worry
You can use the branch of a Magic Gwarri
And if you don't have deodorant
Lavender Bush makes a beautiful scent
If there's anything you need in the great outdoors
There's everything you want and even more
Don't despair I do implore
You'll get it in the Bushveld Department store
And if you want to keep mosquitos away
A sprig o lemon bush will keep em at bay
And if there are moths flying round in your cupboard
Put Tamboti wood chips in your coat pocket
And if you've got a swelling to be relieved
Make a poultice out of Bushwillow leaves
And if you get the sniffs don't go to bed
Sniff Camphor Bush leaves to clear your head
If there's anything you need in the great outdoors
There's everything you want and even more
Don't despair I do implore
You'll get it in the Bushveld Department store
If there's anything you need in the great outdoors
There's everything you want and even more
Don't despair I do implore
You'll get it in the Bushveld Department store
You'll get it in the Bushveld department store
