[Chorus]
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?
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
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?
[Bridge]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]

Australia, you get what you work for

Australia, no class distinction
No drug addiction
