A man took a notion, he had an idea
Take a trip across the ocean get away from here,
He thought something has to give, something has to change
So he made himself a plan and got on a plan
If there was work in the bed, he'd sleep on the ground
He never did a tap at home why would he start now
Went over to the Ozzies and he showed them how
I think the way it was at home he just wasn't allowed
He swapped a Sunday session for a one week bender
Not a care in the world in the land down under
All his life on the dole now he's a big spender
He used to bite my hand off for the lend of a tenner
He swapped a Sunday session for a one week bender
Not a care in the world in the land down under
All his life on the dole now he's a big spender
He used to bite my hand off for the lend of a tenner

Meant to start in the mines but he landed in Sydney
So he said he'd take his time and take in the big city
He met up with Billy the Bogans daughter
Who sorted him out with his ABN number
From a total disgrace to running the place
And the cash is rolling in, he's running out of space
Think the way it was at home he just wasn't allowed
Now he's screaming out how do you like me now
He swapped a Sunday session for a one week bender
Not a care in the world in the land down under
All his life on the dole now he's a big spender
He used to bite my hand off for the lend of a tenner
He swapped a Sunday session for a one week bender
Not a care in the world in the land down under
All his life on the dole now he's a big spender
He used to bite my hand off for the lend of a tenner

He's doing all he can
To be an Ozzie man
He's doing all he can
To be an Ozzie man
