My country's day of celebration
A prison wrought into a nation
Occurs here on this very day
It is Australia, what can I say?
_____
Our leader serves the US nation
From his south Pacific station
Okay, before you start to shrug
Thank Howard for being a Bush butt plug!
_____
It's a country that doesn't dwell on thanks
Delights in bashing the Poms and Yanks
And everybody is mate (like pal)
Unless you are aboriginal
_____
Great honour goes to Flannery, Tim
Climate warrior renowned is him
But Howard suffered again I fear
A green ‘Australian of the Year'?
_____
Our bone dry climate has nasty habits
of killing frogs and breeding rabbits
as well as nasty, deadly snakes
good on you Tim, for all our sakes
_____
As rivers languish, dry and bare
We throw 10 billion at them - there!
I guess they'll flow now green with money
What a heartbreak land of milk and honey
_____
As we cling here for our very lives
And flex and grow as history drives
We have come far from convict cell
But where we're headed I can't foretell

Australians all let us rejoice
For we are young and free
We've golden soil and wealth for toil,
Our home is girt by sea:
For those who miss the allusion
Ha ha! I was about to complement your
"Our bone dry climate has nasty habits
