Chorus: Australia is the place we want to go Why would we ever leave? I don't know Australia is the place we want to go Do we want to leave? Oh, no! It's the land down under, South Pacific So many places that we can visit Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth 25 million people in the part of this earth Mount Augustus is the world's biggest monolith Great Barrier Reef is beyond belief Tasmania Island and the rainforests too The Outback is better than a real live zoo! Australia's largest city is Sydney But the capital is a smaller city named Canberra. The six federated states of Australia are: New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, and Western Australia. Chorus Willow Bottlebrush, lilly pilly and beech The nectarine, apricot and peach The golden wattle and the golden bluebell These are eucalyptus forests, can you tell? Crocodiles (Aw, crikey!) Kangaroos (How do you do?) Platypus and the koala bear The dingo, wombat, lizard, and hare Why did the manager hire the marsupial? Because he was koala-fied. What kind of music do kangaroos listen to? Hip Hop. What do you call a lazy baby kangaroo? A pouch potato. Chorus Country and folk, let's give it a listen Reggae and jazz and these famous musicians: Olivia Newton John, AC/DC Kylie Minogue, Keith Urban and the Bee Gees Tim tam cookies taste dynamite But first you have to eat your vegemite (Mmm, yuck!) Chorus There's rugby and cricket and Australian rules football Surfing and swimming and that's not all Make sure you bring Australian dollars And now you have the knowledge of an Australian scholar!
