Emu at Gallipoli

(hey,

hey!)

He cannot fly but he can run

Underneath the southern sun

Old man emu on the plain

Marching through the dust and rain

He joined the ranks of the brave and true

Standing tall in navy blue

Across the shores of Gallipoli

He stands with the ANZAC cavalry (huah!)

He’s the old man emu,

marching on the sand With the ANZAC soldiers in a distant land

He runs like the wind,

he stands so proud Sing his name,

sing it loud! (ooh-ooh-yeah)

Now the dawn is breaking clear

For the mates we hold so dear

Old man emu stands in line Remembered till the end of time

He’s marching on, marching on!

(emu,

emu, yeah!)
