Australia |
i wanna live in australia |
i wanna do like the aussies do eat some shrimp off the barbecue |
take a ride on a kangaroo |
that’s the place where i want to be scuba dive neath the coral sea |
go native like a wallaby |
take the train to kalgoorlie |
i’m leavin' today |
ten thousand miles on an airplane |
above the nullarbor |
new south wales awaits |
sydney’s a dream, it’s a fantasy |
the jewel of the harbor |
by a pair of boardies on oxford street |
and hang with the kids at bondi beach |
here down under it’s summer all year round |
i wanna live in australia |
i wanna do like the aussies do i wanna groove to the didgeridoo |
buy a big house in wooloomooloo |
that’s the place where i want to be |
a bushranger like ned kelly |
under the shade of a coolibah tree |
i’ll even learn to play footy |
fitzroy, melbourne |
the girl in the bookstore remembered me now i’m never a stranger |
not native born |
but keep coming back like a boomerang |
to her mystery and danger |
perth is left, and brisbane’s right |
and south of that is surfer’s paradise |
here down under they really do get around |
go to the pub and tell my new-found mates |
thank god that i’m livin' in this place |
and we’ll talk about the day that sir don bradman died |
i wanna live in australia |
(christmas underneath the summer sun) |
i wanna do like the aussies do |
(manly beach is so much fun) |
eat some shrimp off the barbecue |
(kookaburras and koala bears) |
take a ride on a kangaroo |
(hold my hand, and i’ll take you there) |
that’s the place where i want to be |
(sonny hammond and his friend skippy) |
scuba dive ‘neath the coral sea |
(i'll be trekkin' cross the kimberley) |
go native like a wallaby |
(the dreamtime aboriginal wonder) |
take the train to kalgoorlie |
(i'm gonna start my new life down under) |
i wanna live in australia |
(pie floaters and vegemite) |
i wanna do like the aussies do |
(king's cross on a saturday night) |
i wanna groove to the didgeridoo |
(they spend dollars but they’re not the same) |
buy a big house in wooloomooloo |
(dame edna is my favorite dame) |
that’s the place where i want to be |
(noosa heads, jillaroos) |
a bushranger like ned kelly |
(bungle bungles, emus) |
under the shade of a coolibah tree |
(swan river, frente) |
i’ll even learn to play footy |
(big banana, home and away) |
