G'day, g'day, how ya goin'? 

What d'ya know?  Well, strike a light!

G'day, g'day, and how ya go-o-o-in'?

Just say g'day, g'day, g'day, and you'll be right.



Isn't it great to be an Aussie,

Takin' a walk, along the street,

Lookin' in shops, or buyin' a paper,

Stoppin' and havin' a yarn with people that you meet.



Down at the pub, or at a party,

Whenever you're stuck, for what to say,

If you wanna be dinky-die, why don't you give it a try?

Look 'em right in the eye and say “good-day!”



G'day, g'day, how ya goin'? 

What d'ya know?  Well, strike a light!

G'day, g'day, and how ya go-o-o-in'?

Just say g'day, g'day, g'day, and you'll be right.



Now when Italians, meet they all go crazy,

The blokes all like to hug each other too,

The Yanks invented "Hi", and, “See you later!"

While the Pommy will shake your hand and say, 

"How do you do?”

 





Now watch out for a Frenchmen, or he'll kiss you,

The Spaniards go for "Olah," and "Olay!"

But in the land of the cockatoo, pole cats and the didgeridoo,

When you meet an Aussie ten-to-one here's what he'll say -



G'day, g'day, how ya goin'? 

What d'ya know?  Well, strike a light!

G'day, g'day, and how ya go-o-o-in'?

Just say g'day, g'day, g'day, and you'll be right.



It's a greeting that you'll hear across Australia,

From Geraldton to Goulburn, Gundagai,

It's as dinkum as the Dingo and the Dahlia,

And you spell it with a G, apostrophe, a ‘D'-‘A'-‘Y'.



G'day, g'day, how ya goin'? 

What d'ya know?  Well, strike a light!

G'day, g'day, and how ya go-o-o-in'?

Just say g'day, g'day, g'day, and you'll be right.



G'day, g'day, ‘n' how ya goin'? 

What d'ya know?  Well, strike a light!

G'day, g'day, and how ya go-o-o-in'?

Just say g'day, g'day, g'day,

Just say g'day, g'day, g'day, and she'll be right.
