Just a rhymer and nothing more
Far south of Hibernia's shore
And from where I first saw light of day
By those old brown hills far away
From this great Land by the Pacific sea
Of wattle, pittosporum, banksia and gum tree
Of wombat, emu, koala and roo
Echidna, rosella, kookaburra and cockatoo
A Land that has inspired song, story and rhyme
That was old long before the Dreamtime
When the Dreamtime people danced their corroborees
Out of the sunshine in the shade of the trees
This is one more jingle that has come to me
For a rhymer is all I can be.
