I Am AUSSIE

I am an AUSSIE. How do I know I am aussie?
I love football, vegemite on toast, and wearing my thongs

I think the best thing about Australia is we are all different.
My grandparents came from New Zealand, South Africa and Scotland.

Being from a mixed background means I know how to do the Haka,
I can run as fast as I lion but I promise I DON’T own a kilt.

Its hard because I don’t know who to go for in the rugby,
one day I can play for any country I want.
I think I will play for the All blacks so I can be like Jonah Lomu.

So I guess you could say I am an Aussie, South-African, Scottish, Maori.
But really I am just ME.
