Spot-on-perfect..you got it-
you jagged it alright..
it's spot on

Fair dinkum, it's really true, 
dinky-di genuine.
Fair dinkum?-  are ya sure?

I'm chuffed, so glad, delighted,
 grateful, touched...aaaw thanks...... 

U Beaut -ya bonzer,
 ya did it good, you are swell.. it's sure grand..

~ Let's dig the jag ~
Now if I try get you to dig
That means jag some things to understand,
But, don't dig yaself a hole too deep
In the crazy lingo of aussie land.
For to dig me, may be just a jag
To catch a fish unknown,
Or you might jag yourself upon a rock
But wing it all the time.

To make sense of this may be a jag
For I'm not sure you'll dig,
So just mount the jag upon a wall
As Texas only has what's big.
There do you dig that piece of art
My play upon a word,
Or did you jag quite what I dig
At least Oz has some pretty birds.

But, it doesn't matter, jag a larf,
If you don't jag the same I dig
Don't take it all to heart
Just go and take a long hot bath.

~ Hooroo to you ~
Hooroo, hello, to one another
It's gidday time down under
Hi, watcha doin' buster
On this morning chokablock o' wonder
While you muster up a morning runner
It's bed time now for slumber
Aw, don't get all a fluster
The moon is shining bright down under

Revel in the heat, the upper colour
And all the blaze mid summer
It's jumper cover up in stormy thunder
In duller winter days down under
Munch on salad tucker for your supper
Lettuce, grapes and cool cucumber
Lemon squash and icecube cruncher
It's cuppa soup and custard time down under

Soon will fall your autumn cover
And in the blast of windy gusts you'll shudder
But spring will also burst asunder
As we hunger for the sun down under
Yet then, in many ways discover
We blend so well in faith and culture
Though the kookaburra,
times and seasons flutter
We're really much the same down under

~ Man, It's Hot Downunda ~

willywilly wind-summer in Australia

What d'ya know, it's roastin' downunda
Dead cert, smack in the middle of summer
Woo-ah, it's boilin' back a' beyond
The willy willy's scatterin' wild turnip,
fair dinkum n'
In woop-woop it's blowin' a buster
Bang on, hot 'nuff to fry googs on the kerb.

What a kafuffle, the crickets are chirpin' 
Oi, wotta corka of a scorcha orright,
We're all nackered, it's time for a kip, after all the hard yakka, nuthin's stirrin'
But Bob's ya uncle, no sweat, at knock off
We're gonna crank up the barbie, 
'n' chuck on some togs,
'Ave a dip, chinwag, snaggers and steak...

Bonzer you bewdy
Cool 'nanas, when the sea breeze hits
We'll be zonked sure 'nuff, then hit the sack,
n' have a kipper, you li'l ripper!

Down home Downunda
Where flat hard cookies are biscuits, soft cake biscuits are scones- (with jam n' cream please)
sweaters are jumpers, jumpers are pinafores
closets are wardrobes, the trunk is a boot
pickups are utes, cowboys are jackaroos
buddies are mates
but friends are friends, no matter what!
