Glory to Australia,
Down under they say we are.
Oh how proud am I to,
Live in the land of the green and gold.
Our land we have shaped,
For 200 years,
Through thick and through thin,
The depression rocked us,
Our boys made us proud,
We built a big bridge,
Up in the Clouds.
We started off a bunch of convicts,
Then we produced many a famous person,
For good and for bad.
We are well known for,
Fighting, For trying and for farming,
not to mention looking out for others,
We do well at sports,
We excel at helping out others.
Glory to Australia,
Down under they say we are.
Oh how proud am I to,
Live in this great land,
And hopefully many more like me,
Will follow.
Glory to Australia!
Glory to the Green and Gold,
We have come a long way,
Now we are over 200 years old.
