Lyrics

Way up north where there is no snow
Way up where the big gums grow
Lived a little termite he loved to chew
And he was the founder of the didgeridoo
Tommy the termite
He lived in the northern sands
Tommy the termite
Gave song to Arnhem Land
Well the lightning flashed and it thundered all around
A big big tree crashed to the ground
Picking any standard branch puffed in the blue
And out came the music of the didgeridoo
Tommy the termite
He lived in the northern sands
Tommy the termite
Gave song to Arnhem Land
Tommy got married had lots of little ones
Fed 'em on trees and they ate many tons
For thousands of years they bred and they grew
Each many generations making didgeridoos
Tommy the termite
He lived in the northern sands
Tommy the termite
Gave song to Arnhem Land
Well it happened years ago on a night so very dark
Poor Tommy passed away 'neath a little piece of bark
The Aborigines cried when they came to hear the news
And sang him up to heaven with the didgeridoos
Tommy the termite
He lived in the northern sands
Tommy the termite
Gave song to Arnhem Land
Tommy the termite
He lived in the northern sands
And the ghost of old Tommy
Is haunting Arnhem Land
Tommy the termite
He lived in the northern sands
Tommy the termite
Gave song to Arnhem Land
