[Intro]
[Verse]
Australia s a big country and Freedom s humpin bluey
And Freedom s on the wallaby, oh, can t you hear her cooey?
She s just begun to boomerang, she ll knock the tyrants silly
She s going to light another fire and boil another billy
[Verse]
Our fathers toiled for bitter bread while loafers thrived beside f#m
But food to eat and clothes to wear, their native land denied f#m
And so they left their native land, in spite of their devotion
And so they came, or if they stole, were sent across the ocean
[Verse]
Then Freedom couldn t stand the glare of Royalty s regalia
She left the loafers where they were and came out to Australia
But now across the mighty Main, the chains have come to bind her
She little thought to see again, the wrongs she left behind her
[Verse]
Our fathers grubbed to make a home, hard grubbin twas and clearin
They wasn t troubled much with lords when they was pioneerin
But now that we have made this land, a garden full of promise
Old Greed must crook his dirty hand and come to take her from us
[Verse]
So we must fly a rebel flag, as others did before us
And we must sing a rebel song and join in rebel chorus
We ll make the tyrants feel the sting of those that they would throttle
They needn t say the fault is ours if blood should stain the wattle
[Verse]
Australia s a big country and Freedom s humpin bluey
And Freedom s on the wallaby, oh, can t you hear her cooey?
She s just begun to boomerang, she ll knock the tyrants silly
She s going to light another fire and boil another billy
