AUSTRALIAN PRIDE 

written and performed by Ricky Street (KRIMPER)

I get a buzz watching Jeff Fenech swing, he got a passionate heart…

Fight with Azumah, me old mate Don King, scammed the man with the gloves

And I watched him fall, tears in his eyes, “I Love You’s All” a true champion’s war cry…

And it always hits me deep inside, I’ve been brought up with Australian Pride

We’re a mixed bag of people, a bloody good crowd

Take the flag round the world, fly it high…do it Proud….

Fred Hollows gave with a smile and a joke, he had compassion to spare…

And I’d a been honoured to meet such a bloke, gave sight to the blind everywhere

He knived in the sun to give ‘em a start, for the kings to the bums all equal in his heart…

And it always hits me deep inside, I’ve been brought up with Australian Pride

We’re a mixed bag of people, a bloody good crowd

Take the flag round the world, fly it high…do it Proud….

You know I like to listen to John Williamson’s songs, he got merit in his heart…

Goin’ round the country swaggy ‘n thongs, expressing what most of us can’t

He’s in Love with the land he sing about you too, a passionate man we all know him as the Emu…

True Blue, And it always hits me deep inside, I’ve been brought up with Australian Pride

We’re a mixed bag of people, a bloody good crowd

Take the flag round the world, fly it high…

And it always hits me deep inside, I’ve been brought up with Australian Pride

We’re a mixed bag of people, a bloody good crowd

Take the flag round the world, fly it high…do it Proud….
