Give It A Go

When our people came to this country
Some were shackled in chains
They toiled and tried and some of them died
Are you gonna let them die in vain
They awoke this land from it’s dreamtime
Made a way of life that we know
But now something is wrong, we gotta change our song
And sing, “Give Australia A Go”
Get in and give it a go, mate
A bit of hard work won’t kill ya’
And our big brown land needs a helping hand
So get in and do a bit for Australia
Bridge
Remember our pioneer spirit
Oh, it's still there deep in our bones
We've done it before so we can do it once more
Let's build this country we own
It’s our land, and our way of livin'
So don't let 'er go to the wall
Each race and each creed in Australia believe
Or country an' freedom will fall
Get in and give it a go, mate
A bit of hard work won’t kill ya’
And our big brown land needs a helping hand
So get in and do a bit for Australia
Get in and give it a go, mate
Wake up to yourself Australia
Sit down in one spot and we’ll loose the whole lot
So get in and do a bit for Australia
Get in and give it a go, mate
A bit of hard work won’t kill ya’
And our big brown land needs a helping hand
So get in and do a bit for Australia
