Here we go again,
It's Australia day at last..
Let's join in one and all,
And celebrate our past...
So grab your mates and neighbours ,
All put on your thongs...
Don the old Akubra,
Let's hear some Aussie songs...
Fire up the barbeque,
And crack a coldie mate...
Be proud to be Australian ,
It's what makes our country great...
Now the beer is flowing,
There is laughter all about...
You pat your mate on the back,
Then tell him it's his shout...
We've seen so many hardships,
But defiant we all stand...
Through bushfires floods and drought,
We'll keep the upper hand...
Aussie battlers one and all,
We'll dig deep to help our own..
It's our way of life,
We never like to moan...
Let's keep the Aussie spirit ,
Right throughout the year...
Make welcome all the people,
That come from far and near...
So join me in a chorus ,
Let's sing a verse or two...
We're proud to be Australian,
Aussie thru and thru...
