Lucky Kids
Learning Waltzing Matilda, I instantly knew
Australia was the place for me
I'd live like a swagman with my pet kangaroo
and play under the shade of a Coolibah tree
It was Christmas there in the summer—Cool!
So, I'd greet Santa surfing into the bay
and kids never had to go to school
I'd just swim and play baseball all day!
What am I doing here at seven?
when lucky kids live in an Australian heaven?
