I love my country as a horse loves hay,
I love it more and more each day,
Even though we are all different based on our location,
We all come together for a big celebration,
I think my country is very swell,
There is no place I know that well.
Even though three times a year, two of our states go face to face,
It shows we have better dedication better than Scarface!
The sport gets better and better each year,
From down the road you can hear the crowds cheer.
You will find that our spirit will never die,
You can attempt to beat us but in the end you will cry.
There is nowhere else I want to be besides this great nation,
I am proud to call myself an Australian.
