G'day g'day, how ya goin', what d'ya know, well strike a light G'day g'day, and how ya go-o-o-in' Just say g'day g'day g'day and you'll be right
Isn't great to be an Aussie Takin' a walk along the street Lookin' in shops or buyin' a paper Stoppin' and havin' a yarn with people that you meet
Down at the pub or at a party Whenever you're stuck for what to say If you wanna be dinky-di, why don't you give it a try Look 'em right in the eye and say goo'day
G'day g'day, how ya goin', hat d'ya know, well strike a light G'day g'day, and how ya go-o-o-in' Just say g'day g'day g'day and you'll be right
Now when Italians meet they all go crazy The blokes all like to hug each other too The Yanks invented "hi" "and see you later" While the Pommy will shake your hand and say "how do you do"
Now watch out for a Frenchmen or he'll kiss you The Spaniards go for "Olah" and "Olay" But in the land of the cockatoo, pole cats and the didgeridoo When you meet an Aussie ten-to-one here's what he'll say
G'day g'day, how ya goin', what d'ya know, well strike a light G'day g'day, and how ya go-o-o-in' Just say g'day g'day g'day and you'll be right
It's a greeting that you'll hear across Australia From Geraldton to Goulburn, Gundagai It's as dinkum as the Dingo and the Dahlia And you spell it with a G, apostrophe, a D-A-Y
G'day g'day, how ya goin', what d'ya know, well strike a light G'day g'day, and how ya go-o-o-in' Just say g'day g'day g'day and you'll be right
G'day g'day, and how ya goin', what d'ya know, well strike a light G'day g; day, and how ya go-o-o-in' Just say g'day g'day g'day Just say G'day g'day g'day and she'll be right
Bonus extra - lyrics - bowdlerised (really??? yes!) & here are the naughty words, properly replaced by asterisks so as not to cause offence. - If you wanna be d***y-di, why don't you give it a try
- But in the land of the c***atoo, cork hats and the didgeridoo
- It's as d***um as the Dingo and the Dahlia
at least they use "cork hats" instead of "polecats" (native to Europe, Asia, & Africa) as given on many other lyrics sites -
