Oh I am a cheat and I'm a liar oh but you're a lovin' ball of fire

I'll leave you like a bum without a penny

And while I'm home with the blues I'll be hopin' like a cangaroo

When I get off of that fast boat to Sydney

I said listen to me babe I gave up the lovin' trade

I'm tired of all this runnin' jumpin' playin'

But you're like it down under the world with the Australian girls

And there's not a word of truth in what you're sayin'

Oh I am a cheat and I'm a liar...

[ guitar ]

This is my greatest act I've come boom a rangin' back

Grinnin' like a Rudolf Valentino

But then you grab your travel load like a swingin' grimmin' dog

And hopped on that fast boat to Sydney

Cause I'm a cheat and I'm a liar...
