[Chorus]
Hear the call of the ringneck loon
Hear the sound, he will be home soon
Hear the cry in the afternoon

[Verse 1]
Ringneck loon, he knows best
He's a loon and he don't care less
Ringneck loon, away off shore
How could anybody ask for more?

[Chorus]
Hear the call of the ringneck loon
Hear the sound, he will be home soon
Hear the cry in the afternoon

[Verse 2]
Ringneck loon, he can't rest
He's a loon and he don't care less
Ringneck loon around the bend
Been a loon since he don't know when
Hear the call of the ringneck loon

[Verse 3]
City life is what I see
City life is the life for me
Ringneck loon, he knows best
He's a loon and he don't care less
[Chorus]
Hear the cry of the ringneck loon
Hear the sound, he will be here soon
Hear the cry in the afternoon

[Verse 4]
Ringneck loon, you can't rest
You're a loonie and you don't care less
Ringneck loon, my old friend
Been a loon since he don't know when
Hear the call of the ringneck loon

[Verse 5]
City life is what I see
City life is the life for me
Ringneck loon, away off shore
How could anybody ask for more?

[Chorus]
Hear the cry of the ringneck loon
Hear the sound, he will be home soon
Hear the cry in the afternoon
