I have a mate in Aussie land His name it rhymes with block Though it isn't something that was planned Our friendship is solid as a rock I have a mate in the land down under He is a wonderful bloke His voice reminds me of quiet thunder Whenever we talk and joke I have a mate on a distant shore For his country he has pride This friend of mine I do adore My feelings won't be denied I have a mate across the sea He means an awful lot to me On one thing we both agree An actual meeting is a fantasy So I give to this friend all that I can And treasure time spent with a sweet man. Although we are countries apart This mate of mine has a piece of my heart
