product’s origin.

We have had it hot in Australia for many a long year
Long before we had the news about climate change and fear Spend a little more —
My Dad told me in fifty-five he fried an egg in the sun
And told me when shooting roos, it melted the barrel of his gun it will be a saving in the
It got so hot in fifty-eight his old straw hat caught fire
The bulls all sat under a tree, it was too hot for them to sire long run.

That was over sixty years ago and yes, it is still hot here today
We have scores of politicians blowing hot air with what they say
We use a lot more power today because we can’t go without
Most homes have air-con/s, washers, dryers and three TV’s lying An Australian Love Poem
about
But they tell us all Australians we will have to make a change Of course I love ya darlin’
To keep the world’s climate within the designated range You’re a bloody top-notch bird
And when I say you’re gorgeous
After all we are one third of one percent of the world’s population
Can we really change the world for the next generation? I mean every single word
Can we turn off air-cons, can we really use less power? So ya bum is on the big side
If we’d done, all those things, the next generation would be sour I don’t mind a bit of flab
Over the last two years, the world temp has dropped 2 degree It means that when I’m ready
But you don’t hear that from the weather gent on TV There’s somethin’’ there to grab
So your belly isn’t flat no more
They run their own agenda on the TV and the news
To tell us all dramatic stories, to make us shake in our shoes I tell ya, I don’t care
I know it was hot a hundred years ago, but it was also very cold So long as when I cuddle ya
Has the temperature changed dramatically, are you really sold? I can get my arms round there
We have politicians and news crews dramatizing everything they say No Sheila who is your age
They blow their trumpets, sing their praises before they even say Has nice round perky breasts
gid-day They just gave in to gravity
But I know ya did ya best
So, I am very skeptical of this climate change propaganda
Yes, the world has been changing since it’s very first stanza I’m tellin’’ ya the truth now
We went through the Ice Age where the world froze over I never tell ya lies
We also had floods where Noah and his animals took over I think its very sexy
We have had fires, floods and droughts since Australia was first That you’ve got dimples on ya thighs
named I swear on me nanna’s grave now
We will have fires, floods and droughts long after the greenies are The moment that we met
shammed I thought you was as good as
I was ever gonna get
So, let’s all do the right thing in this world of ours
Pick up all our rubbish and don’t blame the cows No matter what u look like
We all need to live together, in peace and harmony I’ll always love ya dear
As the world will continue changing as you will all see Now shut up while the crickets on
And fetch another beer...
