CHORUS:
Hi there, Down Under, I’m from above
and a little bit over to the right
if you’re looking at a map of the whole world

I read a book about ants and you’re in it
you’ve got the oldest living ants on the planet
they’ve been around since the very first minutes of the world
here’s a funny fact: opposites attract
and here I am in front of you and your Outback
and if by some chance you like the part about the ants
well their real name is Nothomyrmecia
that’s Latin, it means ‘old ant’

Repeat Chorus

When we’ve got our winter you’re having summer
I talked to a friend of mine who happens to be a plumber
he said your water drains in an opposite direction kind of whirl*

I had to go downtown to get a visa
it’s a piece of paper that I need to come to see you
I had to go to the Consulate from your part of the world
the Consulate lady sat behind some bullet proof glass
and asked me all the questions that she had to ask
I was feeling kind of nervous but she said
I had no worries in the world
here’s a funny fact: opposites attract
and here I am in front of you and your Outback
and for this howdy-do I’d like to introduce to you
the Consulate lady, her name is Philomena
that’s her first name, I think that’s wonderful

Repeat Chorus

Hi there, Down Under - G’day G’day G’day, mate

Before I visit a country for the first time
I like to make up a song to say hello when I get there.

*This is called the Coriolis effect. A little boy in Sydney told me it only works for large
bodies of water, not in your bathtub.
