Peter Allen
I've been to cities that never close down
From New York to Rio and old London town
But no matter how far
Or how wide I roam
I still call Australia home.
I'm always travelin'
And I love bein' free
So I keep leavin' the sun and the sea
But my heart lies waiting over the foam
I still call Australia home.
All the sons and daughters spinning 'round the world
Away from their families and friends
Ah, but as the world gets older and colder
It's good to know where your journey ends.
And someday we'll all be together once more
When all the ships come back to the shore
Then I realize something I've always known
I still call Australia home.
No matter how far
Or how wide I roam
I still call Australia home.
Qantas
We fly to cities that never close down
From New York to Rio and old London town
But no matter how far
Or how wide you roam
We'll charge you a heap, to call Australia home.
We're always travelin'
And give nothing for free
So we'll keep charging exorbitant fees
But our bottom line, is great, says the exec on the phone
We'll charge you a heap, to call Australia home.
All the customers getting ripped off 'round the world
Away from their families and friends
Ah, but as we give our customers the shoulder that's colder
It's good we know that your dollar will end.
And someday we'll all get ripped off once more
When all the paying mugs have to come back to the shore
Then they'll realize something I've always known
Qantas takes advantage of calling Australia home.
No matter how far
Or how wide we make our employees roam
They'll won't all still call Australia home.
