about

Written in Darwin and Far North Queensland - places that would be greatly improved if you could swim in the ocean. Also, our country's full of racists and our politicians win points by making the situation worse. 'Straya!

The orchestra was made awesome by Sam who multitracked a handful of musicians to make it sound like many musicians.

lyrics

CUMMON AUSTRAYA!

They strike fear into the Australian way of life
I’ve been brought up to believe that’s just not right
We have to take a stand, we have to do our best
We have to kill all those bloody terrorists
Because there are places that Australians don’t dare tread
That makes me angry, it makes me flaming red
It’s been going on for a long time, it’s been a fair while
We have to kill all those terrorist crocodiles

We’ll reclaim the beaches, but not like Cronulla
We’ll stand beside all of our human brothers
And we’ll pick up our arms and we’ll fight the good fight
And we’ll protect the Australian way of life

Cos I’m Australian and I wanna swim at the beach
I’m Australian I don’t like the box jellyfish
I’m Australian and I wanna swim freestyle
I’m Australian let’s kill the crocodiles

Well it’s forty degrees under the shade
And I can see the beach and the crystal clear waves
But you know you can’t go in cos you know that they’re watching
You know they’re just waiting to eat you for lunch
And you know you never smile at a crocodile
Unless you’re looking down the barrel of a rifle
So I’ll say it again, come on my friends
Pick up your gun and let the slaughter begin

It’s a shame we lost Stevo, he was a bloody good croc hunter
But I’m not sure he’d like this idea that we’re on to
But he’s not here to complain, so we’ll do it anyway
And while we’re at it, let’s kill some stingrays

Cos I’m Australian and I wanna swim at the beach
I’m Australian I don’t like the box jellyfish
I’m Australian and I wanna swim freestyle
I’m Australian let’s kill the crocodiles

I’ve got a solution to our little problem
I’m no scientist but I know how to stop them
We’ll go into the ocean and build a great big fence
That will stop those amphibious terrorists
From Cape Tribulation through to Kakadoo
We’ll turn them all into wallets and shoes
Because they’re steeling our jobs
And they don’t speak the language
Either they go back to their own country
Or we’ll turn them into luggage

One day I’ll walk down to my local fish and chip shop
I’ll have a small serve of chips and a large side of croc
Then I’ll eat my lunch and I’ll wait thirty minutes
Then me and my friends, we’re all going swimming

Cos we’re Australian and I wanna swim at the beach
We’re Australian I don’t like the box jellyfish
We’re Australian and I wanna swim freestyle
We’re Australian let’s kill the crocodiles
