Come on, all you Aussie’s,
Australia Day is near...
It’s our time to celebrate,
It comes but once a year...
So come on grab your esky,
And your fold up chair..
We going to have a party,
And all let down all our hair...
The Barbie’s will firing up,
Around Australia wide...
They’ll be steaks and sausages sizzling,
And those onions will be fried...
The beer it will be flowing,
And the bullshit too...
As you spin a little yarn,
About the mates you knew...
The wives are huddled around,
Exchanging stories from their past...
Giggling like little schoolgirls,
That wine is going fast...
The kids are in the pool,
And Nanna’s the lifeguard, so it’s seems...
As she watches their every move,
And she cringes from their screams...
So let us raise the Aussie flag,
Unfurl it, for all to see...
Australia Day is here,
For Aussie’s like you and me...
