Patriotism is a red Holden Ute
That rumbles through the outback on a lazy afternoon.
It smells like the end of the footy,
And tastes like the edges of a charcoaled steak.

Patriotism is made of Balfours Pies,
Covered in Heinz Tomato Sauce.
Patriotism shouts “Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!”
And sits under the Mexican Hats at the Boxing Day Test.
