A Flag of Our Own

Ned Kelly came 'round to see me today
 I guess I was dreaming, oh-oh-oh-oh
 Dumbfounded, I couldn't think what to say
 Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
 I beckoned him in, but he shook his head
 He said, "I'm a bit grubby and a bit poorly bred
 I'd rather we yarned out the back in the shed
 I can leave m' boots on that way"
 ♪
 Well, he took a stiff whisky and laid down his gun
 He said, "I won't keep you long, 'cause I've got to run
 Got to ride to the mountains before night is done"
 Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
 He said, "Word's got around 'bout the music you play
 You truly believe in the fair dinkum way
 That the bush must remain for our spirit to stay
 And we must have a flag of our own"
 ♪
 He said, "I learned long ago when I was still young
 Like the lizard that spits and sticks out his tongue
 Oh, the way to get shot is to carry a gun"
 Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
 "There's a new world order", the leaders all shout
 And everyone's frantic they're gonna miss out
 And the red, white and blues are still marching about
 Oh, we must have a flag of our own
 ♪
 'Cause this is Australia and that's where we're from
 We're not Yankee side-kicks or second class Poms
 And tell the Frogs what they can do with their bomb
 And we must have a flag of our own
 Yeah, this is Australia and that's where we're from
 We're not Yankee side-kicks or second class Poms
 And tell the Frogs what they can do with their bomb
 And we must have a flag of our own
