Bazza and Kazza
Ocker and Jill
Gazza and Shazza
Bluey and Bill
Aussie names all of them
Really "True Blue"
They're in the past now
And I'm telling you
If you want to talk "Aussie"
In cities these days
You must get your tongue 'round
A whole different phrase
Dimitri, Mohamed
Che and Wing Lu
Yassar and Stavros
Diego, Abu.
These are the sounds
Of a new nation now
Though it's just not the same
When you say 'em some how.
My old mates have gone now
They've all passed away
But my friend Chum-How
Helps me fill in my day
We talk of old times
When we were at war
And sometimes we ask ourselves
What was it for?
My new mates Luigi, Bjorn and Sergei
Benezir, Boris, Hans and Jose
All come to see me as I'm resting here
We have a good chat, and a bloody cold beer!
