THE NEW AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM

Australians all let us rejoice

The weekend now is near

We've worked all bloody week for this

Dear God let's get a beer.

Our desks abound in paperwork

Our hands are stained with ink

In desperate stage, we'll fly the cage

Advance to Friday drinks!!

With joyful strains, destroy our brains

Advance to Friday drinks.

In the early 1980s, Australians had a referendum on which of three anthems they wanted to replace "God Save the Queen".

It turned out to be "Advance Australia Fair".

They mucked around with the original words to the old song so much that many Aussies thought it went

. . . "Australians let us all ring Joyce,

for she is young and free . . . "

The kind of national anthem I can imagine quite a few Aussies wouldn't mind singing :ilikeit:
