Working Class Anthem




Australian’s all let us rejoyce
For we are young and free
We’ve golden soil and wealth for toil
Our home is girt by sea
Oh, oo-oo-ooh, our home is girt by sea

Our land abounds in nature’s gifts
Of beauty rich and rare
In history’s page, let every stage
Advance Australia fair
Oh, oo-oo-ooh, advance Australia fair

Beneath our radiant Southern Cross
We’ve toiled with hearts and hands
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands

For those who’ve come across the seas
We’ve boundless plains to share
Ooh, advance Australia fair

SPOKEN: (chords over >

You know, a big hard country needs a good strong anthem.
And the best strong anthem is this – a working class hitter.
You can sing it at the footy,
You can sing it at the cricket,
You can sing it any old how,
Matter of fact, Macca’s gonna sing it now.

Australian’s all let us rejoyce
For we are young and free
We’ve golden soil and wealth for toil
Our home is girt by sea

Our land abounds in nature’s gifts
Of beauty rich and rare
In history’s page, let every stage
Advance Australia fair
Oh, oo-oo-ooh, advance Australia fair
Oh, oo-oo-ooh, advance Australia fa-aa-air

Aaaaaaargh! Aaaaaaargh, oh yeah
(Advance Australia, advance Australia fair)

Oooh________________, oooh-oooh, oooh-oooh
(Advance Australia, advance Australia fair)

Oooh________________, oooh-oooh, oooh-oooh
