    To the tune of Waltzing Matilda
    -

    Once a jolly hiker camped by a billabong
    Under the shade of a conifer tree
    And he sang as he watched as he waited while the water boiled
    Who'll hike the Appalachian trail with me?
    -
    Who'll come a hiking, who'll come a hiking
    Who'll come a hiking the AT with me
    And he sang as he watched as he waited while his water boiled
    Who'll come a hiking the AT with me?
    -
    Along came a brown bear to drink at the billibong
    Up jumped the hiker and ran for a tree
    And he sang as he climbed and hoped the bear would go away
    Who'll come a hiking the AT with me?
    -
    Up flew the midges swarming all around his head
    He sprayed them and sprayed them, one two three
    But they swarmed and they swarmed and none of them was really dead
    And o holy **** the bears climbing the tree!

    Who'll come a hiking etc
    -
    Down jumped the hiker, grabbing all his camping gear
    You'll never catch me alive said he
    And his ghost can be heard if you hike the Apalachian trail
    Cos bears run much faster than you and me.

    Who'll come a hiking reprise
