West of Dubbo the west begins	A
The land of leisure and hope and trust	B
Where the black man stalks with his dogs and gins	A
And Nature visits the settlers' sins	A
With the Bogan shower that is mostly dust	B
When the roley poley's roots dry out	C
With the fierce hot winds and the want of rain	D
They come uprooted and bound about	C
And dance in a wild fantastic rout	C
Like flying haystacks across the plain	D
	-
And the horses shudder and snort and shift	E
As the bounding mass of weeds goes past	F
But the emus never their heads uplift	E
As they look for roots in the sandy drift	E
For the emus know it from first to last	F
	-
Now the boss's dog that had come from town	G
Was strange to the wild and woolly west	H
And he thought he would earn him some great renown	G
When he saw on the wastes of the open down	G
An emu standing beside her nest	H
	-
And he said to himself as he stalked his prey	I
To start on his first great emu hunt	J
I must show some speed when she runs away	I
For emus kick very hard they say	I
But I can't be kicked if I keep in front	J
	-
The emu chickens made haste to flee	K
As he barked and he snarled and he darted around	L
But the emu looked at him scornfully	K
And put an end to his warlike glee	K
With a kick that lifted him off the ground	L
	-
And when with an injured rib or two	M
He made for home with a chastened mind	N
An old dog told him I thought you knew	M
An emu kicks like a kangaroo	M
And you can't get hurt if you keep behind	N
