Fellers of Australier,
Blokes an’ coves an’ coots,
Shift yer —- carcases,
Move yer —- boots.
Gird yer —- loins up,
Get yer —- gun,
Set the —- enermy
An’ watch the blighters run.
CHORUS:
Get a —- move on,
Have some —- sense.
Learn the —- art of
Self de- —- -fence.
Have some —- brains be-
Neath yer —- lids.
An’ swing a —- sabre
Fer the missus an’ the kids.
Chuck supportin’ —- posts,
An’ strikin’ —- lights,
Support a —— fam’ly an’
Strike fer yer —- rights.
CHORUS:
Get a —- move on, etc.
Joy is —- fleetin’,
Life is —- short.
Wot’s the use uv wastin’ it
All on —- sport?
Hitch yer —- tip-dray
To a —- star.
Let yer —- watchword be
“Australi- —- -ar!”
CHORUS:
Get a —- move on, etc.
‘0w’s the —- nation
Goin’ to ixpand
‘Lest us —- blokes an’ coves
Lend a —- ‘and?
‘Eave yer —- apathy
Down a —- chasm;
‘Ump yer —- burden with
Enthusi- —- -asm.
CHORUS:
Get a —- move on, etc.
W’en old mother Britain
Calls yer native land
Take a —- rifle
In yer —- ‘and
Keep yer —- upper lip
Stiff as stiff kin be,
An’ speed a —- bullet for
Post- —- -ity.
CHORUS:
Get a —- move on, etc.
W’en the —- bugle

Don’t be like a flock er sheep
In a —- trance
Biff the —- Kaiser
Where it don’t agree
Spifler- —- -cate him
To Eternity.

Get a —- move on, etc.
Fellers of Australier,
Cobbers, chaps an’ mates,
Hear the —- German
Kickin’ at the gates!
Blow the —- bugle,
Beat the —- drum,
Upper-cut an’ out the cow
To kingdom- —- -come!
CHORUS:
Get a —- move on,
Have some —- sense.
Learn the —- art of
Self de- —- -fence.
