The Kiwi And The Emu - John Williamson

There’s a story is it true

The kiwi has a brother

The Aussies calls him emu

He runs around Uluru

They’ve been mates that wingless pair

Tho ones up here and ones down there

A pair of Anzacs stuck like glue

So don’t be fooled if you see them fight

When tempers fray on a summer’s night

If you pick on one you pick on two

The kiwi and the emu

The kiwi says he’s very proud

He’s from the land of the long white cloud

The emu brags of open plans

Way out where it seldom rains

They argue that there home is bliss

They will fight it out at a rugby test

There thick as thieves I’m telling u

The kiwi and the emu

So don’t be fooled if you see them fight

When tempers fray on a summer’s night

If you pick on one you pick on two

The kiwi and the emu

So don’t be fooled if you see them fight

When tempers fray on a summer’s night

If you pick on one you pick on two

The kiwi and the emu

They fought together many wars

Side by side on foreign shores

Back away no not at all

They buried there mates to the bugle

Always wearing a diggers hat

Never forgotten that is that

Feel like brothers?

Of course they do

The kiwi and the Emu

So here’s a warning take it in

These two birds thought thick and thin

Will stick together till the end

Cause a mate is a mate far dinkum

And don’t be fooled if you see them fight

When tempers fray on a summer’s night

If you pick on one you pick on two

The kiwi and the emu

No don’t be fooled if you see them fight

When tempers fray on a summer’s night

If you pick on one you pick on two

The kiwi and the emu

No don’t be fooled if you see them fight

When tempers fray on a summer’s night

If you pick on one you pick on two

The kiwi and the emu

No don’t be fooled if you see them fight

When tempers fray on a summer’s night

If you pick on one you pick on two

The kiwi and the emu
