015 - G’day G’day
Chorus
G'day G'day and how ya goin',
whad-da-ya know, well strike a light.
G'day G'day and how you goin'
just say G'day, G'day, G'day and you'll be right.
Verse 1
Is-n't-it great to be an Aussie
Ta-kin'-a walk along the street.
Look-in'-in shops or buyin' a paper
and stop-pin-and hav-in'-a yarn with people that you meet.
Down-at-the pub or at a party
When-ev-er-you're stuck for what to say -
if you wan-na-be dinky di,
why don't you give-it-a try,
look-'em-right in the eye and say G'day (pause)
Chorus
G'day G'day and how ya goin',
whad-da-ya know, well strike a light.
G'day G'day and how you goin'
just say G'day, G'day, G'day and you'll be right.
Verse 2
Now when-I-ta-lians meet they all go crazy,
the blokes all like to hug each oth-er-too,
the yanks in-vent-ed-'Hi' and 'See ya' later'
^ -while-a Pom-my-will shake your hand
and say How do you do?
Now watch out for-a-French-man or he'll kiss you
the Spaniards go for o-la and o-le,
but in the land-of-the cockatoo
cork hats-and-a didg-er-i-doo
when you meet an Aussie
'ten to one' here's what he'll say - (pause)
Chorus
G'day G'day and how ya goin',
whad-da-ya know, well strike a light.
G'day G'day and how you goin'
just say G'day, G'day, G'day and you'll be right.
Middle 8
(big interval jumps) It's a greeting ^-that-you'll hear across Aus-tra-lia
from Ger-ald-ton to Gove and Gundagai,
it's as dinkum as the dingo and the dahlia,
and you'll spell it with a ‘G’ a-pos-tro-phe ‘A’ - ‘D’ - ‘A’ - ‘Y’ (pause)
Chorus
G'day G'day and how ya goin',
whad-da-ya know, well strike a light.
G'day G'day and how you goin'
just say G'day, G'day, G'day --
G'day G'day G'day --
G'day G'day G'day and you'll be right!
