Play the halls See the stalls tonight Open roads the like Across the dateline change will never strike Australia lies ahead Australia, we head for the mainland Clutching our gifts from the East Only to find out Planes and the highways STrain the paths and the by-ways Remain, still it's leading me Closer to you Australia, we're leaving you behind Australia, we're taking the easy way out From now on "Come to," can't get away from ya still "Come to, we'll take good care of ya." Australia, you save your face while fashions slip Australia, you're balanaced between The powers' tightening grip I've been to, it's a long way for ya still "Go via, they'll take care of ya."
