Footballs Meat Pies Kangaroos

We love football meat pies kangaroos and Holden cars
We’d sing it at home in the playground and in bars
The good old days when everything was Australian made 
But that ended then and now the song did fade

So here we are a place whose population 
Is looking for work in mining tourism and submarine production
We look like we did in 1941
No industry no future and looking around for one.
