Down Here
DOWN HERE
We love living in Australia
We love living down here
The rest of the world is second rate 'cos
There's one thing I can tell you mate
When we come back from overseas
Back to the good 'ol Antipodes
It's great to be living in Australia
So come on and join us down here
Outback dunnies, droughts and flood
Peeling skin and boiling blood
Take me there, if you please m'lud
I want to go and live there
Ticks and spiders, stingers, snakes
Googlies, leggies and off-breaks
Wildlife noise keeps you awake
But we love living down here
We love living in Australia
We love living down here
The rest of the world is second rate 'cos
There's one thing I can tell you mate
When we come back from overseas
Back to the good 'ol Antipodes
It's great to be living in Australia
So come on and join us down here
Gum trees, wombats, koala bears
Kangaroos bounding everywhere
Crocodiles fix you with a stare
And kookaburras laughing down here
Indian, Pacific, Southern Ocean
Rivers, deserts, suntan lotion
Shrimp on the barbie and snags in a bun
We've got no worries down here
We love living in Australia
We love living down here
The rest of the world is second rate 'cos
There's one thing I can tell you mate
When we come back from overseas
Back to the good 'ol Antipodes
It's great to be living in Australia
So come on and join us down here
Boxing Day at the MCG
Snakes in the grass and sharks in the sea
We still work hard in 100 degrees
We love living down here
Cricket, rugby, Aussie Rules
Fun by the beach and the swimming pool
We're nobody's boss but nobody's fool
We love living down here
We love living in Australia
We love living down here
The rest of the world is second rate 'cos
There's one thing I can tell you mate
When we come back from overseas
Back to the good 'ol Antipodes
It's great to be living in Australia
So come on and join us down here
Alice Springs, Uluru
Surfing beaches, Kakadu
Oodnadatta and Wolloomooloo
We love living down here
Melanomas, big beer guts
Flies and mozzies drives us nuts
Losing at sport is a kick in the guts
But we love living down here
We love living in Australia
We love living down here
The rest of the world is second rate 'cos
There's one thing I can tell you mate
When we come back from overseas
Back to the good 'ol Antipodes
It's great to be living in Australia
So come on and join us down here
Barefoot, singlet, shorts and thongs
Slip slop slap and the odd ding-dong
We don't know the words of our national song
So come on over down here
Now we're not all perfect, and it's not all fun
But you can't help smile beneath the sun
So keep the beers cold and the steaks well done
And we'll keep living down here
We love living in Australia
We love living down here
The rest of the world is second rate 'cos
There's one thing I can tell you mate
When we come back from overseas
Back to the good 'ol Antipodes
It's great to be living in Australia
So come on and join us down here
We love living in Australia
We love living down here
The rest of the world is second rate 'cos
There's one thing I can tell you mate
When we come back from overseas
Back to the good 'ol Antipodes
It's great to be living in Australia
So come on and join us down here
