Well, I was drovin' cattle on the plains way out
Right in the middle of a blazin' drought
Camped one night 'neath the moon and the stars
When I awoke to the rhythm of a beat guitar
It was the clay pan boogie
I couldn't believe my eyes
Clay pan boogie
Under the desert skies
Mm-hmm
Mm-hmm
In the big clay pan neath the light o' the stars
Was a wallaroo shakin' with a big guitar
And rockin' in the circle with a little blue doe
With a red buck roo shoutin', "Go man, go." The clay pan boogie
I couldn't believe my eyes
Clay pan boogie
Under the desert skies
Go
Whoo!
Mm-hmm
Well, I rubbed my eyes and I looked again
Just to make sure that I was seein' plain
There was no mistake about the guitar man
While he was pickin' out a rhythm on the big clay pan
The clay pan boogie
I couldn't believe my eyes
Clay pan boogie
Under the desert skies
Mm-hmm
Mm-hmm
Well, the other drovers climbed out of their swags
All started rockin', includin' their nags
I heard a low beat from the cattle camp
Why the whole of the cattle were beginnin' to stamp
The clay pan boogie
I couldn't believe my eyes
Clay pan boogie
Under the desert skies
Hey
Whoo
Mm-hmm
Well, I'm an old cattle drover in a desert lair
I dig hot rhythm and I ain't no square
Rhythm is a word you don't understand
Until you've heard it comin' with a big clay pan
The clay pan boogie
Clay pan boogie
I couldn't believe my eyes
Clay pan boogie
Clay pan boogie
Under the desert skies
Let's go
Go
Whoo
Everybody up
Look at those people dancin'
Whoo
Clay pan
Clay pan
Clay pan
Mm-hmm
Ah
