Here in Australia, we're still doin' fine,
Or at least we are, most of the time,
The birds still sing and the sun still shine,
Down on the lucky country.
Most Australian families,
Own a car, a house and a colour TV,
God bless the finance company,
For givin' us the money,
Though one day we'll have to pay it back,
But don't you worry about that.

Here in Australia, we're still OK,
Though the damn recession won’t go away.
There's a million out of work they say,
And the queues keep gettin' longer,
It's the kids who suffer most of all,
Straight from school onto the dole,
But at least inflation is under control,
Good news for overseas bankers,
Our children's future's lookin' black,
But don't you worry about that.

I'm a stranger here, I'm a stranger here,
This used to be my home, now I'm a stranger here,

Here in Australia we’re independent types,
Tryin' to get our priorities right,
So we're gonna hold up lemon tight,

Goodbye Union Jack your time has come,
Though the new flag won't please everyone,
Show the Southern Cross set against the rising sun,
That’s bound to get a ol’ rooster’s rag,
Goin' one way down a blind track,
But don't you worry about that.

I'm a stranger here, I'm a stranger here,
This used to be my home, now I'm a stranger here,

Here in Australia, we’re still true blue,
Love our football and our barbeque,
Love our koalas and our kangaroo,
Though we’ve sometimes cause to shoot'em,
We eat New Zealand lamb, wear Korean clothes,
Play overseas hype on our radio,
Drive Japanese cars, watch American TV shows,
But we're still proud to be Australian,
Hey you can't find Australia on the map,
But don't you worry about that.

I'm a stranger here, I'm a stranger here,
This used to be my home, now I'm a stranger here,
This used to be my home, now I'm a stranger here.
