He’s done it again! Our Matt Dyktynski has written some new lyrics to an Aussie classic in Waltzing Matilda, to fire up our girls ahead of their HUGE FIFA World Cup game against France in Sydney tomorrow night.
Get fired up!
LISTEN:
Here are the lyrics. Awesome work Matt!
Once there was a country, that preferred kicking an oblong ball
Meat and potatoes, was the cuisine of choice
Avocados were posh and life was just a lamington
It was Advance ‘stralia Fair just as long as you where white
Then along came the migrants arriving in their multitudes
Greeks, Croats Poles, landing uno due tre
Brought their food stuffed with garlic, embarked onto these golden sands
And they came with a game where you can’t use your hands
Go you Matildas, Go you Matildas
Let’s show the French how good ‘stralia can be.
Don’t get me wrong, much respect Love your accent and your fresh baguettes
And again, sorry ’bout the stuff up on those submarines
It all started small as the migrants kids did what the do
Kosminas, and Yankos and Postecoglou
You could watch SBS, see a Dutch film with some nudity
Then on came some soccer as our love grew and it grew
Love Sammy Kerr, she’s the best thing since Tip-Top sliced bread
Love Hayley Raso with her guts and her speed
Then there’s Catley and Hunt, Mary Fowler and there’s Caitlin Foord
Yes the Matildas you have won over me
Go you Matildas, Go you Matildas
Let’s show the French how good ‘stralia can be.
Don’t get me wrong, much respect Love your accent and your fresh baguettes
And again, sorry ’bout the stuff up on those submarines
