There's a story is it true The kiwi has a brother The Aussies calls him emu He runs around Uluru They've been mates that wingless pair Tho ones up here and ones down there A pair of Anzacs stuck like glue (Chorus) So don't be fooled if you see them fight When tempers fray on a summer's night If you pick on one you pick on two The kiwi and the emu The kiwi says he's very proud He's from the land of the long white cloud The emu brags of open plans Way out where it seldom rains They argue that there home is bliss They will fight it out at a rugby test There thick as thieves I'm telling u The kiwi and the emu (Chorus) So don't be fooled if you see them fight When tempers fray on a summer's night If you pick on one you pick on two The kiwi and the emu So don't be fooled if you see them fight When tempers fray on a summer's night If you pick on one you pick on two The kiwi and the emu They fought together many wars
Side by side on foreign shores Back away no not at all They buried there mates to the bugle Always wearing a diggers hat Never forgotten that is that Feel like brothers? Of course they do The kiwi and the Emu So here's a warning take it in These two birds thought thick and thin Will stick together till the end Cause a mate is a mate far dinkum (Chorus) And don't be fooled if you see them fight When tempers fray on a summer's night If you pick on one you pick on two The kiwi and the emu No don't be fooled if you see them fight When tempers fray on a summer's night If you pick on one you pick on two The kiwi and the emu No don't be fooled if you see them fight When tempers fray on a summer's night If you pick on one you pick on two The kiwi and the emu No don't be fooled if you see them fight When tempers fray on a summer's night If you pick on one you pick on two The kiwi and the emu
