diggers of the anzac
Things'll never be the same in Port Lincoln Since they rolled the cameras there Roll up and be a movie extra Take it lightly if you dare  Give the man a uniform Give the man a gun He's your younger brother He's your only son  This is Gallipoli They coulda been ya mates They coulda been me  Ya can't blame a bloke who likes adventure He saw the posters on the wall See the world through the sights of a rifle Grab ya mates and go to war  And give the man a bayonet Give the man a hat Land him on the beaches Eight thousand never came back A rat-a-tat-tat  This is Gallipoli And don't you forget You are the Diggers of the Anzac  Slap bang in the middle of an ambush The johnny turk was all around Sitting ducks fled like nine-pins But the Diggers held their ground  And men like Simpson upheld the spirit Of the Digger who gives a mate a hand And in the end they showed the world The spirit of Australia  So things'll never be the same in Port Lincoln Since they made a movie there Knock off the shearing And knock off the fishing Bring up the clippers and knock off the hair  Give the man a uniform Give the man a gun He's your younger brother He's your only son  This is Gallipoli And don't you forget You are the Diggers of the Anzac  This is Gallipoli And don't you forget You are the Diggers of the Anzac  [Repeat to fade]
