I wanna live in Australia
I wanna do like the aussies do
Eat some shrimp off the barbecue
Take a ride on a kangaroo
That's the place where I want to be
Scuba dive neath the Coral Sea
Go native like a wallaby
Take the train to Kalgoorlie
I'm leavin' today
Ten thousand miles on an airplane
Above the Nullarbor
New South Wales awaits
Sydney's a dream, it's a fantasy
The jewel of the harbor
By a pair of boardies on Oxford street
And hang with the kids at Bondi Beach
Here down under it's summer all year round
I wanna live in Australia
I wanna do like the aussies do
I wanna groove to the didgeridoo
Buy a big house in Wooloomooloo
That's the place where I want to be
A bushranger like Ned Kelly
Under the shade of a Coolibah tree
I'll even learn to play footy
Fitzroy, Melbourne
The girl in the bookstore remembered me
Now I'm never a stranger
Not native born
But keep coming back like a boomerang
To her mystery and danger
Perth is left, and Brisbane's right
And south of that is Surfer's Paradise
Here down under they really do get around
Go to the pub and tell my new-found mates
Thank God that I'm livin' in this place
And we'll talk about the day that Sir Don Bradman died
I wanna live in Australia
(Christmas underneath the summer sun)
I wanna do like the aussies do
(Manly Beach is so much fun)
Eat some shrimp off the barbecue
(Kookaburras and koala bears)
Take a ride on a kangaroo
(Hold my hand, and I'll take you there)
That's the place where I want to be
(Sonny Hammond and his friend Skippy)
Scuba dive 'neath the Coral Sea
(I'll be trekkin' cross the Kimberley)
Go native like a wallaby
(The Dreamtime aboriginal wonder)
Take the train to Kalgoorlie
(I'm gonna start my new life down under)
I wanna live in Australia
(Pie floaters and Vegemite)
I wanna do like the aussies do
(King's Cross on a Saturday night)
I wanna groove to the didgeridoo
(They spend dollars but they're not the same)
Buy a big house in Wooloomooloo
(Dame Edna is my favorite dame)
That's the place where I want to be
(Noosa Heads, Jillaroos)
A bushranger like Ned Kelly
(Bungle Bungles, emus)
Under the shade of a Coolibah tree
(Swan River, Frente)
I'll even learn to play footy
(Big Banana, Home and Away)
