I was born a Queenslander,
I’m proud to be called that name...
This small piece of Australia,
That puts the rest to shame...
Where a friendly bunch up here,
We never worry like the rest...
If you need to have a say,
Just get it off your chest...
There are many people,
That has ventured to this state...
All come here as strangers,
But soon end up as mates...
We like to think things over,
There’s no use at rushing in...
So don’t push us for all the answers,
As our patience will wear thin...
Most of our decisions,
Are made when we drink beer...
When our problems are resolved,
As our heads begin to clear...
So if you like to knock us,
We don’t care on what you say...
Us Queenslanders will keep on smiling,
Each and every day...
