 Opportunities  are available in all walks of life in Australia
 So if you're young  and if you're healthy
  C (RIFF several times)
 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 Syndey for  our holiday
On sunny Christmas Day
Eb
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 Syndey for  our holiday
On sunny Christmas Day
