Her Wish Is To Live In Wonthaggi

Her wish is to live in Wonthaggi and there to raise her family
In the former mining town in Southern Gippsland renowned for it's coal history
Her husband is a fellow townsman and he feels the same way as she
And most of those born in Wonthaggi with their views would not disagree.

With year old twins a boy and a girl we have been so lucky she say
My husband a hard working fellow he works hard for rather good pay
We own our own home in Wonthaggi and here we're determined to stay
We never could move from South Gippsland and here we will grow old and gray.

There's no better place than Wonthaggi a ten minutes drive to the sea
And lots of cheap cafes to eat in when you go out for a family tea
The people are always so friendly you make a friend there every day
From her hometown the miner's grand daughter could never live too far away.

She says she will live in Wonthaggi till the grim reaper pays her the call
For she loves her home town in South Gippsland to her the best place of them all
And her husband he nods in agreement saying Wonthaggi for her and for I
In this town we will raise our children and here we will grow old and die.
