Rally 'round the banner of your country Take the field with brothers o'er the foam On land or sea Wherever you be Keep your eye on Germany But England, home and beauty Have no cause to fear Should auld acquaintance be forgot No, no, no, no, no! Australia will be there Australia will be there You have heard about the Emden ship Cruising all around She was sinking British merchant men Where'er they could be found But one fine morning early The Sydney hove in sight She trained her guns upon them And the German said ‘goodnight’ Rally 'round the banner of your country Take the field with brothers o'er the foam On land or sea Wherever you be Keep your eye on Germany But England, home and beauty Have no cause to fear Should auld acquaintance be forgot No, no, no, no, no!
