THEY’VE JOURNEYED ALL ACROSS THIS LAND
THEY’RE THE FUTURE OF OUR PRIDE,
FOR MANY LONG YEARS THEY’VE DONE THE WORK
SOME HAVE BROKEN AND SOME HAVE CRIED,
THE PATH THAT THEY’VE TRAVELLED DOWN
IS NOW NEARING THE END,
AND TO ALL THE OTHER COMPETING NATIONS
I’VE A MESSAGE I’D LIKE TO SEND.
YOU CAN COME BACK ANYTIME
AS A TOURIST OR A GUIDE,
YOU CAN SHOW AND TELL THE PAINFULL
SPOT WHERE YOUR DREAMS WERE DENIED,
YOU CAN TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT
THE GREATEST GAMES YOU’VE EVER SEEN,
AND HOW YOU WERE DEFEATED
BY THE MIGHTY GOLD AND GREEN.
THE GREATEST ATHLETES I’VE EVER HEARD OF
HAVE NEVER LEFT OUR SHORE,
AND EVERY TIME I PICK UP A PAPER
I READ THAT NOW THERE’S MORE,
AUSTRALIA BREED’S THE FINEST
AND ONLY THE FINEST WILL EVER DO,
WITH THE POWER OF A CROCODILE
AND THE SPEED OF A KANGAROO.
