Antipodean Friends Lyrics

Intro:
Everybody knows this world spins round
Feet on the ground on this crazy ride
24-7 around and 'round
Anybody there on the other side?

Chorus:
Antipodeans say morning, sir
While we say Good night, lady
They take a walk in broad daylight
While here, it's pretty shady

You'll never find an antipode
Just around the corner
He is as far as one can be
He really is a foreigner

Yes, they live so far away,
They’ll never be your neighbours
Looking for a straight way there
Means years and years of labour

Chorus:
Antipodeans say...

In ancient days an antipode
Was seen as someone weird
With feet above their heads,
A monster to be feared

Until one day, some set the sails
For this journey off the maps
What they could find after many weeks
Were pretty normal chaps

Chorus:
Antipodeans say...

If this old world was made of glass
We could see their feet
But don't get fooled, it's not like that
They're difficult to meet

I heard that they get out of bed
While we come home from school
And maybe they feel cold at night
While we lie at the pool

Chorus:
Antipodeans say...

Although we never can be neighbours, we can make amends
And say G'day from far away, Antipodean Friends!
