I like to hear country music,
It has a that special beat...
They often sing of Queensland,
And the people that they meet...
There are many singers,
Who try hard to impress...
But good old Slim Dusty,
Is the man that I like best...
He has a natural talent,
Of singing from the heart...
Which gets the foot a tapping,
From the very start...
He’s inspiration to Australia,
This man of country life...
We should put him in the big chair,
To steer us out of strife...
I think that we all should be proud,
To have a bloke like him...
So let’s all take our hats off,
To the man we know as Slim...
