[bodytext] => Aussie Fairies Fair dinkum Aussie fairies live in the scrub Jumbuck, Wattle, Shyann , Bluey & Little Bub All freckled faced and wearing corked hats happily riding butterflies and winged gnats Dipping and gliding in out of spotted gum trees Into the cool river splashing and diving with ease On hot summer nights dressed in singlets and thongs Sitting round the camp fire singing Aussie bush songs Aussie fairies have sun burnt faces and tanned skin Sparkling brown and blue eyes and a big Aussie grin Surfing on gumleaf surfboards in the silvery moonlight Living by shady rippling creeks and just out of sight Their mates are platypuses and possums and wallabies Riding hopping kangaroos falling off skinning their knees flying in and out of gum trees teasing furry koala bears Chasing Emus for fun and finding dingo pups in dark lairs Aussie Fairies with mischief and magic wands to delight Chasing biting mosquitos away from children on a hot night Making magic dreams of white cockatoos telling fairy tales Fairies riding dolphins and swimming with humpback whales Nursing Bilby babies with big eyes, and sleeping bumble bees Of Aussie fairy magicians training a circus of performing fleas At midnight in the fairy ring Elves swinging in dancing flight Floating moon shadows in the gold and silvery rays of starlight It is all true Aussie Fairies Are true blue.
