Aborigines used to play,
Until the white men came one day,
So they fled to hide, but unfortunately some of them died,
Tried and tried the black men did, but no solution was to fit,
Rabbits and foxes they would eat, saving every little bit,
After years of fighting, Australia was starting to unite,
Lonely ones made a friend, a friendship that would never end,
I stand here today in this beautiful country,
Australia, how lovely!
