May all our young Aussie swimmers
Be resigned to failure;
May our nation's state
Be always second-rate.
(5 minutes,4, 3, 2, 1.. Gold to Australia)
May Timorese fishermen
Evade the Aussie sailor;
Do as history teaches -
Die on Middle Eastern beaches -
"Give up! Give up! Give up! for Australia."
(Hands up who wants to die.)
(Go and get lost.)
We produce a Norman May
Not a Norman Mailer;
May this land's vast distance
Always treat us with indifference -
"Give up! Give up! Give up! for Australia".
I thought it went a lil' sumthin' like this:
(5 minutes,4, 3, 2, 1.. Gold to Australia) Gooooold! (5 minutes) Goooold! (5 minutes,4, 3, 2, 1.. Gold)
May all our young Aussie swimmers Be resigned to failure; May our nation's state Be always second-rate. (5 minutes,4, 3, 2, 1.. Gold to Australia)
May Timorese fishermen Evade the Aussie sailor; Do as history teaches - Die on Middle Eastern beaches -
