Australia Day 1998

They proudly waved Australian flags and sung Advance Australia Fair And Aussie Jock wearing Scottish kilts piped a familiar air Australians all let us rejoice and let the music play And we as people are as one on this Australia Day. The dark skinned indigenous man plays on his didgeridoo His people were the first Aussies to hunt the kangaroo And people from around the globe from Rome to Katmandu Profess their love for this great land 'Australia we love you' A young Aboriginal woman named Australian of the year And to the World Champion athlete they raise their glass of cheer A legendary figure they sing her praises loud Good on you Cathy Freeman you've made Australians proud. Australia Day comes once a year so why not celebrate And toast those men and women who made this Country great Not Prime Ministers or Premiers or those the masses acclaim But all of those unsung heroes who never enjoyed fame. They sing Waltzing Matilda and Advance Australia Fair And their flags and balloons waving in the warm summer air And the happy sun bronzed Aussie to the person near him say Hope life is good for you mate have a nice Australia Day.
