Look out here comes the wet
In the wet, in the wet,
In the wet, in the wet.
It gets about as wet as it can get
Now it's raining cats and dogs
And I can't stand croaking frogs
O brother it's wet.

I wish I had a quid
For ev'ry frog I've seen
A man'd be a millionaire for sure
But you can't earn a crust
And you pray to see some dust
When you're caught in the darn downpour.

In the wet, in the wet,
In the wet, in the wet.
It gets about as wet as it can get
Now it's raining cats and dogs
And I can't stand croaking frogs
O brother it's wet.

They say that when you want
To sort a problem out
You just roll yourself a cigarette and think
Have you tried to strike a light
When your pants are out of sight
And you're up to your elbows in the drink.

In the wet, in the wet,
In the wet, in the wet.
It gets about as wet as it can get
Now it's raining cats and dogs
And I can't stand frogs
O brother it's wet.

I'm droving in a 1000 head of short horned beef
And I've pushed 'em till their eyes grew dim
But the cows can't float
And I can't find a boat
And it's too late to teach 'em how to swim.

In the wet, in the wet,
In the wet, in the wet.
It gets about as wet as it can get
Now it's raining cats and dogs
And I can't stand those croaking frogs
O brother it's wet.

I've climbed out on this branch here
And believe you me
There's not one dry square inch of ground
And it's still a month or two
Before the wet is through
I'll lay you 6 to 4 a man gets drowned.

In the wet, in the wet,
In the wet, in the wet.
It gets about as wet as it can get
Now it's raining cats and dogs
And I can't stand croaking frogs
O brother it's wet.

I got fungus growing on me dungarees,
I got fungus on me dungas
And water on the knees.
It's the mad crazy country in the wet
Wo-oo, a mad crazy country in the wet
Wo-oo, a mad crazy country in the wet.
