Aussie Barbeque
2
-Eric Bogle
3
When the summer sun is shining on Australia's happy land
4
Round countless fires, in strange attire in many solemn bands
5
Of glum Australians watching as the lunch goes up in flames
6
By the smoke and the smell you can plainly tell, that it's barby time again
7
When the steaks are burning fiercely, when the smoke gets in your eyes
8
When the snacks all taste like fried toothpaste and your mouth is full of flies
9
It's a national institution, it's Australian through and through
10
So come on mate and grab your plate, let's have a barbeque!
11
The Scots eat lots of haggis, the French eat snails and frogs
12
The Greeks throw kakis on their mousakis, and the Chinese love hot dogs
13
The Welshmen love to have a leek, the Irish like thier stew
14
But you just can't beat that half-cooked meat at an Aussie barbeque
15
When the steaks are burning fiercely, when the smoke gets in your eyes
16
When the snacks all taste like fried toothpaste and your mouth is full of flies
17
It's a national institution, it's Australian through and through
18
So come on mate and grab your plate, let's have a barbeque
19
There's flies stuck to the margarine, the bread has gone rock hard
20
The kids are fighting and the mossies are biting, who forgot the ___ again?
21
There's bull ants in the eskie, and the beer is running out
22
And what you saw in Mom's cole slaw, you just don't think about
23
When the steaks are burning fiercely, when the smoke gets in your eyes
24
When the snacks all taste like fried toothpaste and your mouth is full of flies
25
It's a national institution, it's Australian through and through
26
So come on mate and grab your plate, let's have a barbeque
27
And when the barby's over and your homeward way you wend
28
With a queezy tummy on the family dummy, many lonely hours you'll spend
29
You might find yourself reflecting, like many often do
30
Come rain or shine that's the bloody last time that you'll have a barbeque!
31
When the steaks are burning fiercely, when the smoke gets in your eyes
32
When the snacks all taste like fried toothpaste and your mouth is full of flies
33
It's a national institution, it's Australian through and through
34
So come on mate and grab your plate, let's have a barbeque
