Welcome to Australia - Comedy Country Song - Terry Bennetts

Описание: Welcome to Australia - Comedy Country Song - Terry Bennetts

‘Welcome to Australia’ was written after a holiday to Europe where so many folks over there said they wouldn’t travel to Australia because of all the dangerous creatures we have here.

They said we have the most poisonous spiders and snakes as well as crocodiles, sharks, box jelly fish etc so were staying well away.The comedy song has done well on the Australian CM Charts spending many weeks in the top ten reaching number #2.

The song features Terry Bennetts – Songwriter, Guitar and Vocals, Ian Simpson – Banjo, Mark Donohoe – Upright Bass, John Bennetts – Drums and Chris Murphy – Backing Vocals and is off Terry’s Album ‘A Fortunate Life’.



Welcome to Australia Lyrics: Written and performed by Terry Bennetts

WELCOME TO AUSTRALIA, THE LAND OF THE KANGAROO
THERE’S BILBY’S KOALAS AND QUOKKA’S, WOMBATS AND WALLABY’S TOO
NOW WITH ALL THESE LOVABLE LOCALS, I FIND IT HARD TO UNDERSTAND
WHY SO MANY FOLKS FROM OVERSEAS, ARE SO AFRAID OF OUR LAND

COULD IT BE THE BLUE RINGED OCTOPUS, THAT FILL YOU ALL WITH DREAD
FOR WITH ONE TINY LITTLE BITE, YOU COULD END UP……. DEAD
AND IF YOU TRAVEL WAY UP NORTH, AND BY THOSE RIVERS YOU SHOULD STROLL
DON’T DIP YOUR TOES IN THE WATER THERE, OR YOU’LL BE DOING THE CROCODILE ROLL
YOU’LL BE DOING THE CROCODILE ROLL

AND THEY TELL US THAT OUR SPIDERS, ARE THE DEADLIEST AROUND
THEY’LL BE IN YOUR BOOTS, UNDER THE TOILET SEAT OR LITTLE BURROWS IN THE GROUND
WE HAVE THE WHITE TAIL, FUNNEL WEB AND THERE’S REDBACKS HERE GALORE
AND WITH A BITE AS NASTY AS A TIGER SNAKE, IT’S LITTLE WONDER YOU FEAR OUR SHORES
IT’S LITTLE WONDER YOU FEAR OUR SHORES

AND WHEN IT COMES TO SNAKES IN AUSTRALIA. WE HAVE MORE THAN OUR FAIR SHARE
AND IT DOESN’T MATTER WHERE YOU TRAVEL. THE SLIMEY BUGGERS ARE EVERY WHERE
THERE’S A HUNDRED AND FORTY SPECIES, FOR YOU TO GIVE A WIDE BERTH
AND WE CAN NAME FOR YOU, QUITE A FEW, OF THE DEADLIEST HERE ON EARTH
THEY’RE THE DEADLIEST HERE ON EARTH

AND IF YOU VENTURE INTO OUR OCEANS, NOW THERE’S ANOTHER WINNER
WE HAVE SIX METRE LONG WHITE POINTER SHARKS, THAT WANT YOU FOR THEIR DINNER
THERE’S STONE FISH, SEA SNAKES AND THE FEARED BOX JELLY FISH
SO DARE TO SWIM IN OUR OCEANS BLUE, IF EUTHANASIA IS YOUR WISH
IF EUTHANASIA IS YOUR WISH

SO WHEN YOU’RE THINKING OF AUSTRALIA, AND SOME CREATURES WHO SEEM UNKIND
YOU’LL MAY TELL US TO TAKE OUR HOLIDAY PACKAGE, AND SHOVE IT WHERE THE SUN DON’T SHINE
BUT PLEASE COME TO AUSTRALIA, THE LAND OF THE KANGAROO
WE’RE SURE YOU’LL MAKE IT HOME ALIVE, AND COME VISIT AGAIN REAL SOON
WELL WE’RE FAIRLY SURE YOU’LL MAKE IT HOME ALIVE, COME VISIT AGAIN REAL SOON
WELCOME TO AUSTRALIA FOLKS
