Well I'm fair dinkum, bloody oath I am

I've loved the smell of gum leaves since I was in a pram

Some places might be greener but I don't give a damn

'Cause I'm fair dinkum, bloody oath I am - wonderful



Now I was in the doctors just the other day

He told me take an asprin, the pain would go away

So I pulled out my cheque book, 'cause sickness doesn't pay

I said are you fair dinkum - what did the doctor say



He said, ah-sore, I'm fair dinkum, bloody oath I am

I've loved the smell of gum leaves since I was in a plam

Some places might be gleener but I don't give a damn

'Cause I'm fair dinkum, ah-sore, bloody oath I am

(You see, we met him in a nice little chinese restaurant)



Then I whistled down a taxi-cab and headed for the east

A bad case of munchies, I was ready for a feast

The driver said Indian, I said ah well, I'd rather not

He said why don't you cummaround to my place, my curry's rather hot



I said are you fair dinkum

He said, oh I'm fair dinkum, bloody oath I am

I love the smell of gum leaves since I was in a bram

Some places might be greener but I don't give a damn

'Cause I'm fair dinkum, oh-oh-oh bloody oath I am



Well I tipped the nice cabby so he wouldn't make a fuss

I shot out like a bullet and I grabbed the Bondi bus

I said take me to the waves mate, I'm dyin' for a dip

He said nah, you be ver carful, and watch you don't slip



Are you fair dinkum

He said ah, by gum, I'm fair dinkum, bloody oath I arm

Ive luvved the smell of gum leaves since I was in a brarm

Some places might be greener but I don't give a darm

'Cause I'm fair dinkum, aye, bloody oath I am



Well everybody's claimin' Aust
