Hey True Blue!
True Blue
Now Antarctic blue
It’s Australia Day!
Please come out to play
We’d love to see you
And get a pic or two
This is the day we wear our boardies
And have a swim and barbies
But out here on the blue
We have a few things to do
Hear a whale
And see its’ tail
Please Mr. Blue, give us a real treat
Swing by for a meet and greet
Any cetacean would do of course
But we’ll do without a white-capped horse
Burgers and mash
With gallons of train smash
The new burger of our coat of arms
Has emu and roo – ringing tourist alarms!
Aussie-ness
Is beach-iness
Thongs, t-shirts and cozzies
At summer barbies mind the mozzies
Pies, chips and vegemite
They’ll make you grow alright
Lamingtons and pav
You can give it all you have
Hello cobber, g’day mate!
Bonza bottler, bring a plate
In oz we’ve simple lingo
Just listen ta Ernie Dingo!
Blues – please be dinky-di
With a krill pie in your eye
Come by for a Captain Cook
And we’ll put you in our photo book!
With flag tattoos
On cheeks of crews
With smiles and a sing-a-long
Sam plays his uke to the girlie throng
With burgers and bangers
The offshore crew swaggers
And chats of being aussies
At the beach in our cozzies!
Have a great day bluey
Tuck into Boags or Toohey
Our “At Sea” Australia Day
Is special in a different way!
