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

p..p…p ..play some didge x 4

Well Colroy’s here and I have no fear All you wild pigs better watch out for my spear I’m with the gang and I’m almost ten I want to be an actor like Jackie Chan

Lendal is my name and I like to do back flips Listen to the words that come from my lips Jump off the bridge and I play the didge 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 Been moving round from town to town And this is how I get down

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

…P……p…p.. Play some didge x3

(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
