In the land of the didgeridoo
apart from their music, their painting and dancing
little happened to disturb their milieu
until men with white faces came to new places
where gold could be dug from the dirt
this changed for ever the old Never-Never,
as all black men found to their cost,
far from being real Australians
they'd become rather alien
in the land of their ancestral birth
in the land of the didgeridoo
not much is expected of you
in the land of the didgeridoo
a paradise was created for you
in the land of the didgeridoo
being black just won't do !
