BLOODY BONZER MATE[00:00:01]
When Hughie looked down on the earth at what he’d done so far [00:00:09]
He said now that’s something and he then made Australia [00:00:14]
He painted all the outside green and made the centre red [00:00:16]
Filled it up with bush flies and this is what he said [00:00:23]
He said "It's bloody bonzer mate bloody bonzer mate "[00:00:28]
He stepped back to admire his work and reckons it was great [00:00:33]
From Cooee up to Canberra from the west of the Eastern States [00:00:38]
Betcha life Australia bloody bonzer mate [00:00:41]
Well then he really got stuck in it didn’t take him long [00:00:53]
Creating plains and mountain ranges creeks and billabongs [00:00:57]
And soon the place was over grown with eucalyptus trees [00:01:01]
And wattles bloomin’ everywhere an’ Hughie was quite pleased [00:01:06]
He said “It’s bloody lovely mate bloody bonzer mate ”[00:01:10]
The best thing that I’ve ever done the others just don’t rate [00:01:15]
From Darwin down to Dargo from the west of the Eastern States [00:01:19]
Betcha life Australia it’s bloody bonzer mate [00:01:24]
Now all the place required was an animal or two [00:01:34]
So he made ecidnas bandicoots and Kangaroos [00:01:39]
And even dogs that had no bark and birds that couldn’t sing [00:01:43]
And last of all some humans just to keep an eye on things [00:01:48]
They said it’s bloody bonzer mate bloody bonzer mate[00:01:51]
Wandered ‘round awhile and then declared this place is great [00:01:57]
From Uluru to Kakadu from the west of the Eastern States [00:02:01]
Betcha life Australia it’s bloody bonzer mate [00:02:06]
Instrumental[00:02:11]
Old Hughie did a ripper job when he made this ole country [00:02:29]
There’s nothing like it anywhere but this you must agree [00:02:39]
So now it’s up to all of us to see it stays that way [00:02:43]
And take care of Australia so our grandchildren can say [00:02:47]
You know it’s bloody bonzer mate bloody bonzer mate [00:02:53]
Any way you look at it you’d have to say first rate [00:02:58]
From Carlton to Kalgoolie from the Gulf to the Garden States[00:03:02]
Betcha life Australia it’s bloody bonzer mate [00:03:07]
You know it’s bloody bonzer mate bloody bonzer mate [00:03:12]
Of all the places in the world oh this one takes the cake [00:03:15]
From Carlton to Kalgoorlie from the Gulf to the Garden States[00:03:21]
Betcha life Australia it’s bloody bonzer mate[00:03:26]
