| When our people came to this country,
|
| Some were shackled in chains,
|
| They toiled and tried and some of them died,
|
| Are you gonna let them die in vain,
|
| They awoke this land from it’s dreamtime,
|
| Made a way of life that we know,
|
| But now something is wrong, we gotta change our song,
|
| And sing, «Give Australia A Go».
|
| Get in and give it a go, mate,
|
| A bit of hard work won’t kill ya',
|
| And our big brown land needs a helping hand,
|
| So get in and do a bit for Australia.
|
| Bridge
|
| Remember our pioneer spirit,
|
| Oh, it’s still there deep in our bones,
|
| We’ve done it before so we can do it once more,
|
| Let’s build this country we own,
|
| It’s our land, and our way of livin',
|
| So don’t let 'er go to the wall,
|
| Each race and each creed in Australia believe,
|
| Or country an' freedom will fall.
|
| Get in and give it a go, mate,
|
| A bit of hard work won’t kill ya',
|
| And our big brown land needs a helping hand,
|
| So get in and do a bit for Australia.
|
| Get in and give it a go, mate,
|
| Wake up to yourself Australia,
|
| Sit down in one spot and we’ll loose the whole lot,
|
| So get in and do a bit for Australia
|
| Get in and give it a go, mate,
|
| A bit of hard work won’t kill ya',
|
| And our big brown land needs a helping hand,
|
| So get in and do a bit for Australia. |
