How Australian's That! Songtext
von Mike Brady

How I often sat and wondered what makes us who we are
It′s a question that's been asked before
Some say it′s in the history, of this land as old as time
But I've gradually come around to think it's more
You see we love our footy, but it′s more than that to us
And I believe it′s made us what we are today
The magic and the moments, that draw us one and all
It's all there in this Aussie game we play
See it′s not where you come from, or where you got your start
It's not the colour of your skin that makes you stand apart
From Darwin down to Dubbo
From Cairnes to Ballarat
We show our footy colours
And HOW AUSTRALIAN′S THAT?
Could be a few kids in a paddock
Or a final at the 'G
There′s something about this game that says it's ours
It's talked about and squarked about then talked about some more
In the bush and in the cities lofty towers
You see it′s not where you come from


Or where you got your start
It′s not about how much you got that makes you stand apart
From Tewee down to Tassie
From Broome to Arramack
We wear our colours on our sleeve
And HOW AUSTRALIAN'S THAT?
So how Australian′s that?
This footy that we play
How Australian's that?
Let me hear you say
It′s about who you barrack for
And the number on your back
This game is for everyone
And how Australian's that?
Now if I had a crystal ball
I wonder what we′d see
Maybe the whole world kicking Sherrins
What a sight
A specky out've Africa
A global footy league
It doesn't hurt to dream of what just might
You see it′s not where you come from
Or how you say your name
It′s how you show your colours
And how you play the game
You can where them on your old grey coat
Or even on your hat
We're going to the footy
And HOW AUSTRALIAN′S THAT?
You see it's not where you come from
Or where you got your start
It′s not the colour of your skin that makes you stand apart
From Alburny to Aubrey
From Clunes to Rolling Flat
This game is for everyone
And HOW AUSTRALIAN'S THAT?
This game is for everyone
And HOW AUSTRALIAN′S THAT?
HOW AUSTRALIAN'S THAT?
