Well, we have a original. (Up the top)




And like a million parodies. (To the tune to the one up the top)

The original goes

Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are one 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.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.

Beneath our radiant Southern Cross
We'll toil 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;
With courage let us all combine
To Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.

(Totally didnt have to look that up)

And the parody that we all know goes like this:

Australians all eat sausages,

For breakfast lunch and tea.

In case of an emergency,

We rely on KFC.

AND MACCAS!

Here are some others:

1. Australians all have ostriches,

Four minus one is three!

With olden royals, we're fair and loyal, 

Our home is dirt by sea. 

I learned to bounce on nature strips 

In booties stitched with care. 

In mystery's haze, let's harvest maize 

And plant azaleas there. 

Enjoy full trains and let us in 

And dance Australia yeah!

2. Australians all eat ostriches,

For we are young at three!

3. Australians all eat sausages

For breakfast lunch and tea

My mama said they're good for me

But I like KFC

4. Australians all let us be boys

For we are young and three.

5. Australians let us all meet Joyce

For she is young and free.

6. Our home is KFC

7. We've got soil and words for foil

8. beneath our raging southern rocks

9. beneath the poo in southern cross

10. beneath the rage in southern cross

They're so funny!

But not true. (Sadly)
