throw it all around

Throw wattle seeds upon the ground Throw sunflower seeds and apple core Throw Carroway and poppy too Mix insect meat with butchers dough Now throw it all around. Now I am gone and cannot stir Beneath the ground that I once trod Life goes on but mine is spent Think of times that we all shared Now throw it all around Life is such a fleeting thing I recall the time I first saw my child The second too with such delight My wife, my family and all around Now throw it all around We partied on for days on end From day to night to day again And rang the bell and called the dare For we had time to spare Now throw it all around We grew up quick, got old to fast Our bodies ached; our steps slowed down Now spending time to sit and wait Don’t have the time to see my mates Now throw it all around The hospice staff have been real nice Though all I wants a beer or three I know that time has caught me up But before I go do one last thing Now throw it all around Those noisy cockies and galah's The currawong and magpies Grass parrots, top knot pigeons Can all come make their noise Now throw it all around For I am gone beneath the ground No one left to spread seed around The birds will come and sound your day Now throw it all around
