lyrics

Beeliar Love Song © Ginny Webb 2017

You’re too precious to lose
I don’t wanna have to choose
Between red-tailed black cockatoos
And a six lane road that splits communities in two!

There’s no excuse
So many share my view
It’s giving us all The Blues so
Let’s tell the government it isn’t cool!

CHORUS
(Oh) Beeliar
How precious you are
Here on Nyoongar Boodja boodja boodja boodja

(Yeah) Beeliar
How special you are
Here on Nyoongar Boodja Boodja

Ancient stones and bones
Leave them alone
They belong to the First Nation
They need preservation

You’re the last refuge
Of the sweet bandicoot
Rainbow bee-eater too
In the wetlands biodiversity rules!

CHORUS
(Oh) Beeliar etc

BRIDGE
Say No to Roe
Let’s take it slow
We just don’t want it
So let’s stop it!

Those pushing this thing through
Haven’t got a clue
From anyone’s point of view
“They’re building a road to nowhere…”

I’d much rather
We fund the outer harbour
Down in Kwinana
Instead of this disaster!

CHORUS + Here on Nyoongar Boodja
“They’re building a road to nowhere…”
