[Intro]
E A

[Chorus]

A (John) E (June) A
Oh, I am a cheat and I'm a liar, oh, but you're a lovin' ball of fire
(John)E A
I'll leave you like a bum without a penny
(June) E (John) A
And while I'm home with the blues, I'll be hopin' like a kangaroo
E A
When I get off of that fast boat to Sydney

[Verse 1]

(John) A E
I said, listen to me, baby, I gave up the lovin' trade
A
I'm tired of all this runnin', jumpin', playin'
(June) E
But you're like it down under the world with the Australian girls
A
And there's not a word of truth in what you're sayin'

[Chorus]

A (John) E (June) A
Oh, but I am a cheat and I'm a liar and you're a lovin' ball of fire
(John) E A
Honey, I'll leave you like a bum without a penny
(June) E (John) A
And while I'm home with the blues, I'll be hopin' like a kangaroo
E A
When I get off of that fast boat to Sydney

[Solo]
E A x4

[Verse 2]

A (John) E
This is my greatest act, I've come boomerangin' back
A
Grinnin' like a Rudolf Valentino
(June) E
But then you grab your travel load like a swingin' grimmin' dog
A
And hopped on that fast boat to Sydney

[Chorus]

A (John) E (June) A
'Cause I'm a cheat and I'm a liar but you're a lovin' ball of fire
(John) E A
Honey, I'll leave you like a bum without a penny
(June) E (John) A
And while I'm home with the blues, I'll be hopin' like a kangaroo
E A
When I get off of that fast boat to Sydney

[Outro]
E A
