We are all Australians
No matter what we eat
Lamb fish or meat
It doesn’t matter if they come from Africa
China or America
We are all Australians

Who cares if their eyes are brown
Or if they wear a crown
It doesn’t matter if they are bad
Nice or very sad
We are all Australians

What matters if they’re quiet
Or if they’re on a diet
Who cares if they are poor
Or if they come from the shore
We are all Australians

Ok they can be bossy
Jumpy or gossipy
Even if they lie
Yell, shout, or cry
What really matters is that
We are all Australians
