Vegemite, Vegemite
It’s a savoury salty delight

I’ve been born and bred on this wonderful spread

You can have it on toast with avocado
Or under the grill with cheese and tomato

You can eat it with breakfast in bed
Or have it on a sandwich for lunch instead

Oh Vegemite it’s my favourite thing
It makes me so happy that I just have to sing

And as I ride along each day
Vegemite helps tick the kilometres away

This brown yeast extract
Is my favourite spread as a matter of fact
