Mango Pickle Down River Lyrics
Go, one, two, three, four
M.I.A.
Morganics
When we’re goin’ fishin’, we catchin’ the bream
When the river’s high, we jump off the bridge
And when we get home, we play some didge
When we're goin' fishin', we catchin' the bream
When the river's high, we jump off the bridge
And when we get home, we play some didge
I wear my NRL baseball cap
Parramatta’s my team if you know what I mean
To be the captain, that’s my dream
I walk on stilts to read the beat
When it crawls out, I shake a leg
This is my rhyme and that’s what I said
I don't really know why you act that way
My name is Maya and people always say
I act kinda strange like a dooba weh
I like fish and mango pickle
When I climb trees, them feet then tickle
I'm broke this month didn't pay rent
I had to jump town and my money's all spent (all spent)
I had to jump town and my money's all spent
When we're goin' fishin', we catchin' the bream
When the river's high, we jump off the bridge
And when we get home, we play some didge
When we're goin' fishin', we catchin' the bream
When the river's high, we jump off the bridge
And when we get home, we play some didge
We-we-we play some didge
We-we-we play some didge
All you old pigs better watch out for this bit
And I’m here at the game and I’m almost ten
I wanna be an actor like Jackie Chan
Listen to the words that come from my lips
Jump off the bridge and I’ll play the didge
And when I catch a fish, I put it in the fridge
Wilcannia to Dubbo to Broken Hill
I’ve been movin' around from town to town
And this is how I get down!
The boys fight to ride it, but I just let 'em push
Keith stole an egg from a lil' cuckoo
Kept it safe in his mouth, while he danced jookoo jookoo
One day we'll have to be a really good chef
And I don't mean us in the bush making meth
Boys if you catch meth you catch your death
When I said that Keith sneezed and had a chick
Broke the little egg in his mouth in little bits
When we goin' fishin', we catchin' the bream
When the river's high ,we jump off the bridge
And when we get home, we play some didge
When we goin' fishin', we catchin' the bream
When the river's high, we jump off the bridge
And when we get home, we play some didge
When we goin' fishin', we catchin' the bream
When the river's high, we jump off the bridge
And when we get home, we play some didge
I LOVE Keith! He's so cute!
I figured I might as well try to figure out wilcannia mob's verses, if anyone wants to help out, do it--
call me marley, this where I'm at I'm M.I.A. (??) croquet I'm [on the/out of a] team if you know what I mean to be the captain- that's my dream

the color of (?) my feet all you out there better watch out for my speed I'm in the game and I'm almost ten I'm gonna be an actor like jackie chan
and I leave my name I like to do (athletes?) listen to the words that come from marley

my name is buddy I can't stand still from akenya- to stubble- to boklen hill I've been moving round from town to town and this is how I-- get down
yeah i agree its much easier if u kno aussie terms and the kids. i tried to figure out the lyrics properly cuz even the M.I.A. lyrics look kinda wrong. mind, i couldnt even figure out a substitute for some. here goes:
Testing one Go, one, two, three, four
Wilcannia Mob M.I.A. Morganics
(Chorus) When it’s really hot we go to the river and swim When we’re goin’ fishin’, we catchin’ the bream When the river’s high, we jump off the bridge And when we get home, we play some didge
(Chorus)
They call me Wally, this is where I’m at I wear my NRL baseball cap Parramatta’s my team if you know what I mean To be the captain, that’s my dream
My name is Keith from Wilcannia Street [I walk on stilts to read the beat When it crawls out, I shake a leg]??? This is my rhyme and that’s what I said
First of all I wanna say I don't really know why you act that way My name is Maya and people always say I act kinda strange like a [dooba weh]??? I like fish and mango pickle When I climb trees, them feet then tickle I'm broke this month didn't pay rent I had to jump town and my money's all spent (all spent) I had to jump town and my money's all spent
(Chorus x2)
We-we-we play some didge (x3)
Well Colroy’s here, have no fear [All you old pigs better watch out for this bit And I’m here at the game and I’m almost ten]??? I wanna be an actor like Jackie Chan
Lendal is my name; I like to do back flips Listen to the words that come from my lips Jump off the bridge and I’ll play the didge And when I catch a fish, I put it in the fridge
My name is Buddy, I can’t stand still Wilcannia to Dubbo to Broken Hill I’ve been movin’ around from town to town And this is how I, get down!
Rode the BMX we walked through the bush The boys fight to ride it, but I just let ‘em push Keith stole an egg from a lil’ cuckoo Kept it safe in his mouth, while he danced [jookoo jookoo]???
There's only one ocean that got fish left One day we'll have to be a really good chef And I don't mean us in the bush making meth Boys if you catch meth you catch your death When I said that Keith sneezed and had a chick Broke the little egg in his mouth in little bits
(Chorus x3)
feel free to correct!
Here, I fixed it for you:

This is what the boys are saying, according to the lyrics on their site. They're called the Wilcannia Mob, and here's their link. http://downriver.com.au/music-and-video/
Chorus: When it’s really hot we go the river and swim When we go fishin’ we catchin’ a bream When the river’s high we jump off the bridge When we get home we play some didge x2
Call me Wally this is where I’m at I wear my NRL baseball cap Paramatta’s my team if you know what I mean To be the captain — that’s my dream
My name is Keith from Wilcannia streets I walk on stilts to beat the beat When I get home I shake a leg This is my rhyme, that’s what I said
Chorus: When it’s really hot we go the river and swim When we go fishin’ we catchin’ a bream When the river’s high we jump off the bridge When we get home we play some didge

(Beat Stops) When it’s really hot we go the river and swim When we go fishin’ we catchin’ a bream When the river’s high we jump off the bridge When we get home we play some didge
i second strykerchick. anyway the "My NOIME is KEEF!" is the best part for me. only way to make this better would be to have little girls rapping vs the boys.
This is definitely one of my favourites. I tried to figure out the kids' verses and this is what I could come up with:
Call me Wally, this where I’m at, I hear M.I.A never wears ball caps, __ on my team, if you know what I mean, to be their captain, that’s my dream
My name is Keith from Wilcannia Strip, I walk on stilts to look real big, when it grows hair, I shake a leg, this is my rhyme and that’s what I said.
[Maya Verse]
____, All you other people gotta watch out for my speed, I’m in the game and I’m almost 10, I’m gonna be an actor like Jackie Chan
Wendel is my name, I like to do back flips, listen to the words that come from (my lips?), jump off the bridge and I’ll fly ____, when I catch a fish, I put it in the fridge
My name is Buddy, I can’t stand still, from Wilcannia to to hill, I’ve been looping around from town to town, and this is how I get down.
[Maya Verse]
I think some of the verses are a bit hard to understand if your not familiar with some australian terms . The first verse is - you can call me wally this is where im at . i wear my NRL (rugby league) baseball cap , parramattas my team if you know what i mean . to be the captain , thats my dream.
(Paramatta is like a region of sydney and the rugby team he follows.)
My name I might decode some later if i have time . =)
lol @ people from other countries who cant understand them. Those kids got really popular on Triple J radio a few years ago for this very song (minus M.I.A. of course) and I guess she just picked up on it and wanted to collaborate. Triple J is the big national youth radio service here, without it, Australia would pretty much be void of any non-commercial music. JJJ delivers.
this is getting quite close to complete!
i'm pretty sure keith says, "when the crew is here, i shake a leg," and in colroy's bit, "better watch out for my spear."
