"Life Down Under"

They say, “Is it true, do kangaroos just hop around the streets?”

And “How do you survive with all those deadly creepy beasts?”

Well, mate, we wrestle crocs before we eat our toast,

And those spiders are just pets – yeah, we love 'em the most!

Welcome to Oz, where the sun’s always burnin’,

People keep askin’ but they’ll never be learnin’—

Why we call it “Straya” and say “she’ll be right,”

It's just the Aussie way, yeah, it’s just our delight!

They say, “How do you live when it’s forty degrees?”

We’re sipping our stubbies under shady gum trees.

Slip-slop-slap, sunscreen’s our best mate,

But watch out, mate, ‘cause magpies ain’t that great!

Welcome to Oz, where the sun’s always burnin’,

People keep askin’ but they’ll never be learnin’—

Why we throw “shrimp on the barbie” and say “fair dinkum,”

It’s just what we do, don’t overthink ‘em!

“Do ya ride kangaroos, have a pet koala too?”

Well, nah, mate, they’re wild, they’re not at the zoo!

We’re just regular folks who say “g’day” and “cheers,”

Living life down under without any fears.

Welcome to Oz, where the slang’s kinda funny,

People keep askin’, but they’ll spend all their money—

Tryin’ to figure out why we’re never uptight,

'Cause in Aussie land, mate, everything’s alright!

So if you ever come ‘round to our sunburned shores,

Bring a big hat and some boardies, nothing more.

Just smile, say “ta” and “no worries” too,

You’ll fit right in like a true Aussie, mate, true blue!
