Once a pommy conman landed ho near Bennelong Under the flag of his country and queen And he lied through his teeth As he claimed that land for British soil "You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me" Down through the years when the lie this nation's built upon "We should rejoice 'cause we're young and we're free" But should we give a voice?

All those girls wiped their tears As they ran their drills and dribbled on You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me Once some strong women Put their boots and their jerseys on Took to the field in their gold and their green And we cheered down the pub As we watched with the Telly on We'll come a waltzing Matilda with thee Every match, every tackle Every goal the Tillies battled on Macca the wall stopped all those penalties Til we wept as we lost To those dirty bloody grubby poms Our brave Matildas robbed of victory Carpenter, Kerr, and the wonderkid from PNG Raso and Catley, Cooney-Cross, Kennedy All their names will live on Longer than statues, gold, silver or bronze Those brave Matildas, they made history Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda Who'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me? Yes their names will live on Beyond statues, gold, silver or bronze Our brave Matildas, they made herstory Now until it's done, we will write our story...
