[Verse 1]
CI was born on McAdam Street,
UnFlucky for some we were Gnumber 13,
We had, CPampas grass and a dog named Ben,
I'm Flucky I was Gborn Chere
[Verse 2]
Near the CTAB there's a monument,
The Fconcrete stands for the Gfallen men,
Every CANZAC day we get pissed for them,
I'm Flucky I was Gborn Chere
[Chorus]
I was Gborn here, I was Cborn here,
By a Flucky twist of Gfate, I got to be Cbor-C/Born Amhere,
And I'm Ffilled with national Gpride,
I'm CAussie C/Bas, till I Amdinkum-die,
Like FSouthern Cross thongs and french Gcricket on my lawn,
I'm Flucky I was Gborn Chere
[Verse 3]
I Cwent to a school where they didn't charge fees,
When I, Fsplit my head they Gstitched it for free,
I watched, CCountdown Sundays on the ABC,
I'm Flucky I was Gborn Chere
[Chorus 2]
I was Gborn here, I was Cborn here,
By a Flucky twist of Gfate, I got to be Cbor-C/Born Amhere,
And I'm Ffilled with national Gpride,
I'm CAussie C/Bas, till I Amdinkum-die,
Like, FVegemite toast and a Ghot Christmas morn',
I'm Flucky I was Gborn Chere
[Verse 4]
And I'm Fgreatfull to the elders who Gtaught me to see,
 CWhite C/BAustralia's got a Amblack history,
We're Fnot all that young, and we're Gall not that free,
We're Flucky we were Gborn Chere
[Chorus 3]
I was Gborn here, I was Cborn here,
By a Flucky twist of Gfate, I got to be Cbor-C/Born Amhere,
Stop Fusin' my boarders like a Gprison gate,
Stop Cusin' my C/Bflag like a Amsymbol of hate,
It's Fonly dumb luck we were Gborn this way,
... FLucky, I was Gborn, Amhere
[Outro]
FLucky, to be Gborn Chere
