I was with a Brit friend the other day
Drinking beer and telling stories you might say
I was draining stubbies down as an Aussie will
Making this mate laugh thinking I was a real dill
Ya see in the mother country you drink out of a pint glass
And swigging the bottle was uncouth and made you a bit of an ass
But when an Aussie wants a drink and it doesn’t matter what
Looking for a glass to drink out of is silly when you’re hot
And another mate said to me one time
He only drunk when it was warm that was so fine
This was a cold day in the middle of July
He said there hadn’t been a cold day for 30 years gone by.

Feel all alone on a desert isle
Since you left me without a word
Please come back my sweet young thing
I admit I've been quite a turd
Hereby promise to honour and obey
And be a good little hubby
There's only one thing I insist on though
Stop calling it a 'sweet little stubby'
Very sensitive about the guy downstairs
Been friends for quite a while
Even stubbies have feelings you know
So help him get back his sweet smile
