about

We had fun with this one – a ground out gruff sound that you might hear if ever you shared a night in a hole with a full grown wombat.

lyrics

Wanna See A Wombat

I wanna see a wombat
I wanna see one now
I've never seen a wombat
All I see is cows
I wanna see a wombat
And give him such a hug
His wombat ears could tickle me
Oh snuggly snuggly snug

I wanna see a lyre bird
I wanna see a heap
I've never seen a lyre bird
All I see is sheep
I wanna see a lyre bird
Scratching on his mound
Fluff his little tummy
And count his speckled brown

I wanna see a funnel web
That isn't in a jar
I've never seen a funnel web
All I see is cars
I wanna see a funnel web
And give myself a scare
Watch her wave her fangs about
Oh ugly spidery hairs

Amassing near gold record sales as a totally independent artist, his appeal is very simple: Barry writes great songs. Rich with environmental themes, his music is profound and energetic.

Warm, wise and funny, Barry Peters is an artist worth introducing to every child. ... more
