From Genoa to Australia
Way back in 1956
Mum and dad left behind
Their families; their mates
My brother was a toddler
I was smuggled in
I always tell this story
With a silly grin
Inside my mother's belly
From Hungary; I was brought
Aboard the Aurelia
Over oceans; danger fraught
To this wild red land
They emigrated; so many years ago
This wide brown land was fated
To be in their lives; to show
No matter what land birthed you
No matter from whence you came
Australia became your country
Australia claims you for its own...
