We'Re Fair Dinkum Dancing Tonight

WE’RE FAIR DINKUM DANCING TONIGHT

We’re fair dinkum dancing tonight,
oh what a beautiful sight,
the rain’s pouring down -
there’s mud all around.
We’re fair dinkum dancing tonight.

We’re fair dinkum dancing tonight,
the music has set us alight,
and it’s long overdue -
us getting wet through.
We’re fair dinkum dancing tonight.

I don’t give a damn for the banks.
I don’t care a less that I’m bust.
I’m just so happy to hear what I hear,
that’s finally settling the dust.

And Oh what a wonderful smell.
There’s nothing like it on the land,
where blue sky and heat near had us beat
that’s why you must understand.

We’re fair dinkum dancing tonight,
oh what a beautiful sight,
the rain’s pouring down -
there’s mud all around.
We’re fair dinkum dancing tonight.

We’re fair dinkum dancing tonight,
the music has set us alight,
and it’s long overdue -
us getting wet through.
We’re fair dinkum dancing tonight.

I can’t see the stars or the moon.
I can’t see for tears in my eyes.
They’re tears of joy that go with a smile,
so believe me it’s not a surprise.

We’re fair dinkum dancing tonight,
oh what a beautiful sight,
the rain’s pouring down -
there’s mud all around.
We’re fair dinkum dancing tonight.

We’re fair dinkum dancing tonight,
the music has set us alight,
and it’s long overdue -
us getting wet through.
We’re fair dinkum dancing tonight.
We’re fair dinkum dancing tonight.
