Celebrating today - having fun with our language.
Birth of our Nation.
by Aussie
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie
Oi!Oi!Oi! This is how we celebrate Birth of our Nation. Throw a banger on the barbie Tickle a dead horse or Cover a dead fly with sauce Maybe, mash a spud add to the dead fly? Swimming in the sea, ocean and me Raising a flag for all to see Two flags flying on Harbour Bridge First Australians and Colonials free. Multi-cultural nation we learn to listen Australians are many colours, without blush Laid back Aussies welcome you Warm hearts embrace immigrants too. So, come on world - celebrate our day Once a year we come out to play Throw a boomerang, catch a cane-toad Cockroach races have a say And you may cringe at our way. We sure know how to celebrate Our special Day Throw a thong or cricket to play This is Australia Day! |

Banger: sausage, dead horse = sauce, dead fly = pie. Mash a spud = potato. Cockroaches = roaches. I think you call thongs flip-flops. I'm having some fun with America, so now you know...strine is our second language. Happy Australia Day. Enjoy a four XXXX with me (Queensland beer.)
