Lyrics:

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

This is my greatest act, I've come boomerangin' 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 (but you're a lovin' ball of fire)
Honey, I'll leave you like a bum without a penny
(And while I'm home with the blues), I'll be hopin' like a kangaroo
When I get off of that fast boat to Sydney
