For anyone planning on watching coverage, live or otherwise, of the Olympic Opening Ceremony - a prize for the first person to spot me in my Toon top - I thought I'd copy out for you the words to the (unofficial) Australian national anthem, so that you can join in at home ! By the way, for some unexplained reason it sounds better if you're holding a tin of VB in your hand ;o)
"Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a coolibah tree
And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled
You'll come a-waltzing matilda with me.
(chorus) Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled
You'll come a-waltzing matilda with me."

Ah - they don't do lyrics like that any more - well, not since Da do ron ron ron da do ron ron. Anyway, what's wrong with God Save the Queen?
