Ma(m)bo Lyrics
by Company B
PAUL KEATING:
There's a tale I heard
Of an island man
Tough and undeterred, he said Haven't you heard?
This land - our land!
We belong
That's what the High Court said
So when you sing this song, you gotta sing it for Ed.
For Eddie.
Ready?
BAND:
Ready!
Mabo!
Mabo!
Mabo!
KEATING:
What's that name?
BAND:

KEATING:
For the Meriam people
BAND:

KEATING:
It was very unequal

Was it totally legal? Oh no!

[SAXOPHONE SOLO]

BAND:

KEATING:
It's alive and vital
BAND:

KEATING:
Speak the truth and make it so!
And if we follow this philosophy
Demand a land beyond compare
Then girt by faith and generosity
We'll all combine to redefine a beauty rich and rare
In joyful strains then let us sing...
ALL:
Advance Australia...
(Thanks to Jess for these lyrics)
