Is it cold out there?   It’s rainin’ in my heart!
The surf looks fair!  The day’s about to start!
From where I stand, a shadow on the memory of much happier days.
The sea and sand have always been a symbol of Australia at play.
The sign on the beach says “Keep Away”  The water here’s not safe today.
I put on my clothes and I get in the car. I can’t believe that it’s got this far!

Is there room out there?  I like to walk amongst the trees.
The earth looks bare, log trucks welcome me!
The sign on the gate says “Keep Away” The air is rich with toxic spray.
I get out of there as fast as I can. This neck of the woods ain’t fit for man!

Wattle we do about it!  It’s gettin’ worse everyday!
Whatever you choose boy!  You better start straight away!

I love a sunburnt country! There’s no shade where there’s no trees!
I love the warmth of the ‘greenhouse effect’ I love the factories!
I love a land of sweeping plains; Of garbage dumps and sewerage drains.
For most of us that’s all we’ve got. And Bondi Beach is my favourite spot!

Wattle we do about it!     What will we do!
