Somewhere in Australia

Somewhere in Australia where the sun is a curse,
And each day is followed by another slightly worse,
And the brick red dust blows thicker than the shifting desert sand,
And the men dream and wish for a fair and greener land.
Somewhere in Australia where the mail is always late,
Where a Christmas card in April is considered up-to-date,
Where we never have a pay day and we never pay the rent,
But we never miss the money 'cause we never get it spent.
Somewhere in Australia where the ants and lizards play,
And a hundred fresh mosquitos reinforce the ones you slay,
So take me back to good old Sydney where I can hear the tramway bell,
For this god-forsaken place is just a substitute for hell!

  1. Na celý život kdesi v Austrálii bych si asi netroufl - zvlášť, když tu říkanku podpoříš obrazovým doprovodem :)
