Austen Tayshus - Australiana lyrics

The story you are about to witness is true. It actually happened. Only the names have been changed to make it funny... Sitting at home last Sunday morning, me mate boomerang Said he was having a few people around for a barbie, said he might kookaburra or two I said, "Sounds great, will Wallaby there?" He said, "Yeah and Vegemite come too." So I said to the wife, "Do you wanna goanna?" She said, "I'll go if dingos." So I said, "Wattle we do about Nulla?" He said, "Nullabors me to tears, leave him at home." We got to the party about two and walked straight out the kitchen to put some booze in the fridge And you wouldn't believe it, there's Boomer's wife Warra sitting there trying to platypus! Now, I don't like to speak Illawarra, but I was shocked; I mean how much can a koala bear? So I grabbed a beer, flashed me Wangaratta and went out and joined the party Pretty soon Ayers Rocks in and things really started jumping This Indian girl Marsu turns up, dying to go to the toilet, but she couldn't find it I said to me mate Al, "Hey, where can marsupial?" He said "She can go outback with the fellas, she's probably seen a co*katoo." Well just then Warra comes out of the kitchen with a few drinks for everybody Fair dinkum, you've never seen a Coolabah maid I grabbed a beer and said, "Thanks Warra – tah." A couple of Queensland at the party, one smelling pretty strongly of aftershave One of them sat down next to me and I turned to him and I said, "Ya know mate, Eureka Stockade!" It was a really hot day; Oscar felt like a swim He said to Ina, "Do you want a have a dip in the Riverina?" She said, "I haven't got my Kosciusko." Well Bo says, "Come in starkers, Wattle Lake Eyre!" Ina says, "What, without so much as a Thredbo?" "Ah, Perisher thought! Has Eucumbene in yet?" Well a few of the blokes decided to play some cricket Boomer says "Why doesn't wombat?" "Yeah, and let Tenterfield." He said I should have a bowl, but I was too out of it to play cricket so I suggested a game of cards I said to Lyptus, "Wanna game of eucalyptus?" He said, "There's no point mate, Darwins every time." Well Bill said he'd like a smoke Nobody knew where the dope was stashed I said, "I think Merinos." But I was just spinning a bit of a yarn Barry pulls a joint out of his pocket Bill says "Great, Barrier Reefer, what is it mate?" "Noosa Heads of course. Me mate Adelaide 'em on me." And it was a great joint too, Blue Mountains away and his Three Sisters Well I thought I'd roll one meself, I said, "Chuck us the Tally Hobart" He said "They're out on the Laun, Ceston, can you get 'em for us?" Burnie says, "It's okay mate, she's apples, I'll get em for ya." Just then Alice Springs into action, starts to pack billabong And you wouldn't believe it, the bong's broken I said "Lord Howe!" "Hayman," somebody says, "will a didgeridoo?" I said "Hummmmm, mummmm, mummmmm, mummmmm, maybe it'll have to." I look in the corner and there's Ba** sitting there, not getting into it, not getting out of it I said, "What, is Ba** Strait or something?" Boomer says, "As a matter a fact mate, he's a cop." I said, "You're joking mate, a cop? I'm getting outta here, let's goanna." She said, "No way, I'm hangin round till Gum leaves. Besides, I don't wanna leave Jacaranda party on his own Have you seen him? I think he's trying to crack on Toowoomba; he's already tried to Mount Isa And he'll definitely try to lead you Australiana!" Thank you and goodnight!
