| Every little bit of Australia is a little bit of you and me,
|
| Every little bit of Australia is a little bit of you and me,
|
| We got the kindies and beginners at the primary school,
|
| Where the kiddies learn to read and write,
|
| We got the colleges and Universities for the ones that seem so bright,
|
| We got the technical trade school,
|
| Apprentices, for those who like to use their hands,
|
| Then all the rest left over get to sing in a rock 'n' roll bands.
|
| Every little bit of Australia is a little bit of you and me,
|
| Every little bit of Australia is a little bit of you and me,
|
| We got the footie on a Saturday afternoon,
|
| Where everybody rants and raves,
|
| Weve got the big American super marts,
|
| Where the house husbands shop and save
|
| We got clubs and Tatisalls, TAB where we try to win a quid,
|
| But the telly and the all night radio, one of the best thing we ever did.
|
| Every little bit of Australia is a little bit of you and me,
|
| Every little bit of Australia is a little bit of you and me,
|
| We got the Swan and the Torrens and the Brisbane too
|
| All the rivers run through the town,
|
| Weve Sydney Harbour, the Murray and the Yarra,
|
| Where the water is thick and brown,
|
| We got the Snowy and the Ord and Pine Gap,
|
| That was put there for our sake,
|
| But to bundle politicians in Canberra,
|
| Was the smartest move to make.
|
| Now the Aboriginal people have been here since dreaming time,
|
| With the birds and animals all their own
|
| Its a land as old as time,
|
| Weve got cities and towns, and migrant friends,
|
| A great Australian dream,
|
| So take all ya papers and tins and things
|
| And keep Australia clean.
|
| Every little bit of Australia is a little bit of you and me,
|
| Every little bit of Australia is a little bit of you and me,
|
| Yeah, yeah, every little bit of Australia is a little bit of you and me,
|
| Every little bit of Australia is a little bit of you and me,
|
| Every little bit of Australia is a little bit of you and me,
|
| Every little bit of Australia is a little bit of you and me.
