Chorus

Im planning where to hold the barbee
Im planning for a proper family do
Im planning where to buy the mysteries
And Im planning for the veggies too
Should it be here on Melbourne cup day
With an early start and brekie too
Watch the race at the RSL club
Then play cards or maybe take a snooze

Chorus

Im planning where to cross the Murray
Im planning the tackle that Ill use
Im planning how to catch the big fish
Im planning what bait to choose
With my boat Ill go across the water
Sit in shade where the mighty river laps
Cast my line out into deep waters
Sit and think there and maybe take a nap

Chorus

Instrumental chorus

Last Chorus

Are you asleep Wal, are you asleep
Are you asleep Wal, are you asleep
Are you asleep Wal, are you asleep
No Im planning my next move
Im still planning my next move
