Good Old Australia

Here in Australia we've got beautiful oceans and seas,
We like to wear boardies down low to our knees.
We like to sing Australian songs,
And we like to wear the Australian thongs.
Throw a sausage on the barbie,
Rev your car up like it's a Ferrari.
Kicking back drinking some beers,
I say, "The drinks are on me," and we all say "Cheers!"
Surfing on the Aussie waves,
Searching around for Ned Kelly's caves.
Playing my good old didgeridoo,
Walking in the outback trying to find a kangaroo.
At the stadium as the Ford's and Holden's race,
Turn the music up and pump the bass.
We are all grateful for the people who fought for our land,
So, so proud united we stand!
