Lyrics

Opportunities are available in all walks of life in Australia  
So if you're young and if you're healthy  
Why not get a boat and come to Australia  
  
Australia, the chance of a lifetime  
Australia, you get what you work for  
Nobody has to be any better than what they want to be  
Australia, no class distinction  
Australia, no drug addiction  
Nobody's got a chip on their shoulder  
We'll surf like they do in the U.S.A.  
We'll fly down to Sydney for our holiday  
On sunny Christmas Day  
Australia, Australia  
No one hesitates at life or beats around the bush in Australia  
So if you're young and if you're healthy  
Why not get a boat and come to Australia  
Australia sha-la-la-la sha-la-la-la  
Australia sha-la-la-la sha-la-la-la  
Everyone walks around with a perpetual smile across their face  
Australia sha-la-la-la sha-la-la-la  
Australia sha-la-la-la sha-la-la-la  
Everyone gets around and nobody can ever get you down  
We'll surf like they do in the U.S.A.  
We'll fly down to Sydney for our holiday  
On sunny Christmas Day  
Australia, Australia
