We are Australian Under the Southern Cross we stand By the Beach or in the country A can of beer in our hands Ashes to ashes, dust to dust We Aussies are platinum, we will not rust It doesn't matter where you come from You live in this land We are all Australian And together we will stand Yes we are Australians, and bloody proud to be Standing tall with our mates over near the barbie This is the wattle, the symbol of our land You can stick it in a bottle, or hold it in your hand Yes, we have a lot of flies, and mossies are a bitch But the more cans we have, the less we seem to itch At cricket and football and swimming we are bloody great Name your sport, we'll beat you mate When times are tough, and you need a hand You can always count on an Australian man The roo is our emblem, the emu is too So cook'em together, they taste great in a stew Heading off to the footy, Aussie Rules we cheer But don't forget the pies and the esky of beer We have gold and diamonds galore with tons of iron ore, and gas offshore Our culinary offerings are better than most A four&twenty with sauce, and vegemite on toast Red light district house with the working lady Cane toads, tar roads, a dingo took my baby!' A mambo shirt is a sight to see But it doesn't compare to damper and tea Our cars are Fords or Holdens, either one is beaut It doesn't matter which you drive, as long as it's a ute So that's the abundance we've got to enjoy We are all Aussies. Oy! Oy! Oy!

I became an Australian citizen, on Australia day
I love this country, and am here to stay
