|
When the convicts arrived in |
|
Australia |
|
The soldiers didn't have a lot to do |
|
So for entertainment they made the convicts dance |
|
While the soldiers piped a tune |
|
It was the |
|
British domination quickstep |
|
Quick step up your work, listen to the beat |
|
They've got the power in their hands |
|
And the load off their feet 100 years later, the governor was still on his seat |
|
The peopl were farming and mining |
|
The cockies ate the chaff |
|
While the squatters ate the wheat |
|
Two World |
|
Wars later, |
|
Rule Britannia began to die |
|
Pig Iron Bob rocked the cradle |
|
Yankee Doodle was the nation's lullaby |
|
It's the yankee domination quickstep |
|
Quick step up your work, listen to the beat |
|
They've got the power in their hands |
|
And the load off their feet |
|
It's now the foreign domination quickstep |
|
Quick step up your work, listen to the beat |
|
They've got the power in their hands |
|
And the load off their feet |
