John OCallaghan - Australia Lyrics

Well you tell me that you'd like to sing a song
But the words and the tune just come out wrong
I tell you it's as easy as ABC
So come along and sing this song with me

A-U-S-T-R-A-L-I-A
Franklin River, Uluru and Botany Bay
Make sure we tell 'em not to give it all away
Cause it's the only place on Earth I wanna stay

And when I look into the Southern sky
There's a fire burns brighter in me eye
Even Paterson and Lawson would agree
It's the only place on Earth
You'd wanna be

A-U-S-T-R-A-L-I-A
Franklin River, Uluru and Botany Bay
Make sure we tell 'em not to give it all away
Cause it's the only place on Earth I wanna stay

Well it's Darwin Perth or Adelaide for me
Or some Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne repartee
And Tassie lies straight across the waves
Yeah there's something there that makes me wanna stay

A-U-S-T-R-A-L-I-A
Franklin River, Uluru and Botany Bay
Make sure we tell 'em not to give it all away
Cause it's the only place on Earth I wanna stay

From London down to China, across to Asia Minor
You're an Aussie, and that's good enough for me

I'm proud to be an Aussie just like you
With Koala, Emu, Cocky, Kangaroo
And when we meet again, I'll say gidday
Now there's only one more thing I wanna say

A-U-S-T-R-A-L-I-A
Franklin River, Uluru and Botany Bay
Make sure we tell 'em not to give it all away
Cause it's the only place on Earth I wanna stay

A-U-S-T-R-A-L-I-A
Franklin River, Uluru and Botany Bay
Make sure we tell 'em not to give it all away
Cause it's the only place on Earth
Only place on Earth
Only place on Earth I wanna stay
