I was raised by Aborigines
I lived on wombat stew
I rode a wallaby to school
I rode a kangaroo
My dad was a jackaroo, mate
My mum was a jumbuck
And I've learned to throw a boomerang
And I learned how to duck

We come from a land full of gum trees and sand
Where the blokes are all rugged and tanned
Like us, manly
Where you don't need a shrink and coke is a drink
Not as good as beer, though
And we bring you the word from Australia
What's the word? G'day!

The man from Snowy River was a personal mate of mine
We sat and boiled our billies In the outback all the time
I got Mel Gibson's autograph when I couldn't bloody read
Well, I'm going for a walkabout with Crocodile Dundee

We come from a land full of gum trees and sand
Where the Sheilas are rugged and tanned
Where the blokes are all strong with blades two foot long
And we bring you the word from Australia

Tell us about it

30 days out in the scrub
I was dry as a creek so I go to a pub
Bloody great crocodile bit me leg
I said: "come on, barman, bring us a keg!"
"No worries, mate, too right, here goes"
Stiffen the lizards, and stone the crows
In walks a Sheila, tall and blonde
It's time to put the acid on
Now where I come from there is no fence
The men are men, and the sheep are tense
I says: "Hello, how about it? What do you say?"
She says: "I wasn't going to, but - okay!"
G-G-G-G G'day
Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Sheila

We come from a land where the natives are tanned
Wher there's all kinds of gum trees and sand
Lots of sand?
Loads of it!
Where a man is a bloke and a fag is a smoke
What else could it be?
And we bring you the word from Australia
What's the word?
G'day!
