about

Apparently this song came about after somebody saw a kids Tonka Toy bulldozer in the back of a logging vehicle. It dates back to the Nightcap actions, but has a certain timeless quality about it.

lyrics

CHORUS
A
We wanna cut! We wanna kill!
D
We wanna bulldoze that there hill
E
We don’t care who pays the bill!
A
Cos we’re playin with our Tonka Toys

A
I’ll cut the snig track. I’ll block the creek
D
& I’ll cut the trees where the slope’s too steep
E
We’ll give the conservationists the creeps
A
Playin with our Tonka Toys

<-CHORUS->
D
I’ve got a chainsaw
A
I’ve got a bulldozer
E A
& I’ve got a logging truck
D A
We don’t care about environmental impacts
E
We’re only in it for the bucks – MATE!
<-CHORUS->
D
I’ve got a lunchbox
A
I’ve got a thermos
E A
& he’s got a yellow hat!
D A
After lunch we’ll clearfell the forest
E
& that’ll be the end of that– MATE!

A
We’re all playing with our Tonka Toys
D
Just like little Australian boys
E
Making lots of lovely NOOIIIIIISE
A
Playin with our Tonka Toys

A
We’re so tough! We’re so loud!
D
We got beaten by a greenie crowd
E
The magistrate says we’re not allowed!
A
To play with our Tonka
