Lyrics

Rally round the banner of your country,

Take the field with brothers o'er the foam,

On land or sea, wherever you be,

Keep your eye on Germany.

But England, home and beauty have no cause to fret,

Nor do they need to worry over what may come,

For should old acquaintance be forgot,

No! No! No! No! No!

Australia will be there,

Australia will be there!
