Chorus I'm Fair Dinkum, bloody oath I am I've loved the smell of gum leaves, since I was in a pram Some places may be greener, but I don't give a damn 'Cause I'm Fair Dinkum, bloody oath I am. Now I was in the doctor's just the other day He told me take an aspirin, the pain would go away So I pulled out my chequebook, 'cause sickness doesn't pay I said, "Are you fair dinkum?" - what did the doctor say?
He said, "Ah so . . ." (Repeat Chorus with Chinese accent) I said, "Well can you recommend a nice little Chinese restaurant?"
Then I whistled down a taxi cab and headed for the east A bad case of the munchies, I was ready for a feast The driver said "Indian?" - I said, "Oh well, I'd rather not" He said, "Why don't you come around to my place, My curry's rather hot".
I said, "Are you fair dinkum?" He said, "Oh . . ." (Repeat Chorus with Indian accent)
Well, I tipped the nice cabbie so he wouldn't make a fuss I shot out like a bullet and I grabbed a Bondi bus I said, "Take me to the waves mate, I'm dyin' for a dip" He said "Now you be very careful and watch you don't slip.
"Oh, are you fair dinkum?" He said, "Ah by gum . . ." (Repeat Chorus with Pommy accent)
Well everybody's claiming Australia as their own I'm no aborigine, so I won't point the bone It shows good taste mate, so I shouldn't moan If you got a problem, get Al Grassby on the phone.
Bridge Yeah, we're Fair Dinkum, bloody oath we are We all love Koalas and singin' round the bar And con somebody's missus to drive the flamin' car Yeah, we're Fair Dinkum, bloody oath we are.
Now give me a home where life is what you make Where I can walk about, just for walking's sake Where I can tell our leaders to go jump in the lake But I'll never knock Australia, you make no mistake.
