Song Lyrics There are 2 opening versions of the song and 2 ending versions of the song.
Opening 1 This is the story of Blinky Bill and Flap and Nutsy too,
And Wombo, Ruff, and Marcia, and Splodge the kangaroo.
Now they all live in Green Patch Town as happy as can be,
With friends and neighbours all around the same as you and me.
But then one dark and gloomly night when all the bush was still.
Some bandits came and stole the trees to feed their woodchip mill,
And when at last the morning came the timber trucks moved on,
And there where Green Patch used to be, the little town was gone.
Hey, Hey, Blinky Bill- save us from that woodchip mill,
If you don't do it no one will- good old Blinky Bill.
Hey, Hey, Blinky Bill- get in there and fight until
We're safely back on Green Patch Hill- good old Blinky Bill!
So come and see what happens next to Blinky and his friends,
But ten to one you'll never guess the way the story ends!
Watch Blinky helped us save the bush and replant every tree
So come on we'll rebuild the town- just you watch and see.
Hey, Hey, Blinky Bill- save us from that woodchip mill,
If you don't do it no one will- good old Blinky Bill.
Hey, Hey, Blinky Bill- get in there and fight until
We're safely back on Green Patch Hill- good old Blinky Bill!
Hey, Hey, Blinky Bill- save us from that woodchip mill,
If you don't do it no one will- good old Blinky Bill.
Hey, Hey, Blinky Bill- get in there and fight until
We're safely back on Green Patch Hill- good old Blinky Bill!
Good on ya, Blinky!
Opening 2 This is the story of Blinky Bill and Flap and Nutsy too,
And Wombo, Ruff, and Marcia, and Splodge the kangaroo.
Now they all live in Green Patch Town as happy as can be,
With friends and neighbors all around the same as you and me.
But it's not always fun and games for Blinky and his crew.
Disasters shouldn't happen, but, alas, they sometimes do!
There's mysteries and secrets out there amongst the trees,
And nobody needs enemies when you've got friends like these!
Hey, Hey, Blinky Bill- you'll never catch him standing still,
Life is pretty boring till you've met Blinky Bill.
Hey, Hey, Blinky Bill- our cheeky mate from Green Patch hill
If you don't know him, you soon will- good old Blinky Bill!
So come and see what happens next to Blinky and his friends,
But ten to one you'll never guess the way the story ends!
Our little mischief-maker, the one who never fails,
Enjoy his great adventures in these new exciting tales!
Hey, Hey, Blinky Bill- you'll never catch him standing still,
Life is pretty boring till you've met Blinky Bill.
Hey, Hey, Blinky Bill- our little mate from Green Patch hill
If you don't know him, you soon will- good old Blinky Bill!
Hey, Hey, Blinky Bill- you'll never catch him standing still,
Life is pretty boring till you've met Blinky Bill.
Hey, Hey, Blinky Bill-- our little mate from Green Patch hill
If you don't know him, you soon will- good old Blinky Bill!
Good on ya, Blinky!
Ending 1 (incomplete) G'day old mate I'm Blinky Bill I bet you heard of me
I'm living in Australia up a eucalyptus tree
Now don't you listen to a word those awful grownups say
I'm always on my best behavior nearly every day
I'm Blinky Bill
My whole lifes a thrill
I do exactly what I want
I'm Blinky Bill
Ending 2 (incomplete) Yahoo, didgeridoo
Blinky Bill and all his crew
Nutsy, Flap, and Marcia, too
and Splodge the Kanga... Splodge the Kanga... Splodge the Kangaroo
