Spirit of Australia - with Joy McKean

Ken, here's a song just for you
I'd just like to say in passing that I think you did the right thing
By sticking to your guns and keeping your project all Australian
Now, it kind of makes me savage, when I think of all you've done
Oh, you've made a dream reality with your record-breaking run
You proved your point, so what the hell
Let all the cynics scoff
If we had more men like you, old mate, this land would be better off
Here's to the spirit of Australia
Oh, I gladly tip my hat to you in praise
Here's to the spirit of Australia
And the pioneer who's with us right today
Now from this, we learn a lesson
Don't think I'm just bragging
It's the little bloke who tried to help, proud to be Australian
So let's get our backsides off the
Floor, and like Ken, let's have a go
There's gonna be no miracle unless we make it so
Here's to the spirit of Australia
Oh, I gladly tip my hat to you in praise
Here's to the spirit of Australia
And the pioneer who's with us right today
Here's to the spirit of Australia
Here's to the spirit of Australia
Oh, I gladly tip my hat to you in praise
Here's to the spirit of Australia
And the pioneer who's with us right today
Hey
The spirit of Australia here to stay
