Brisbanality
A strange reality
Come along with me
Brisbanality
A strange reality
Not even by the sea
But its the place to be
Turn on the ABC
Another cup of tea
As hot as hot can be
Baby you and me!
It's not the heat
It's the humidity
No it's not the heat
It's the humidity
You never know your luck in a medium sized city
I never knew this place could be so pretty
Like you Brisbane
I really like you Brisbane
Up and down round and round
Just a big country town
Up and down round and round
It's just a big country town
Oh Brisbane
I really like you Brisbane
And why why why
Won't people keep to the left
On the escalators?
On the escalators?

Brownwater

I've seen the Seine in Paris
Seen the Tiber in Rome
There's no other river
Like the one I got back home
That old brown river
Keeps rolling along
Seen the Thames in London
The Hudson in New York City
But there's no other river
So nice and so pretty
As that old brown river
That keeps singing my song
Brownwater
Brownwater
Brownwater
The place I call home
The Brisbane River is the very heart and soul of this town
It's so very brown that it's the very brownest river around
You can keep Sydney harbour
You can keep Port Philip Bay
Just give me the Brisbane river
Forever and a day
That old brown river keeps rollin' along
That old brown river
Old brown river like an old man's liver
Brownwater
Brownwater
Brownwater
In my very home
The Brisbane River is the very heart and soul of this town
Well it's so very brown that it's the very brownest river around
Old brown river like an old man's liver
He just keeps rollin' along
Singing our song

Salt Lake City 2003
Steven Bradbury!
From Acacia rink to the Olympic brink
No accidental destiny
It took him ten long years to be there
Pierced eyebrow and died spiky hair
Steven Bradbury
He wants all the world to see
He's in the final finally
He's skatin' on
His coach said
You know you gotta use your head
You'll never beat those guys with your speed
So just stay safe at the back of the pack
Let the other guys fight it out for the lead
And as the race picked up in pace
Steve was safely in final place
Steven Bradbury
Hair and tortoise strategy
Keep your feet yeah that's the key
He's skatin' on
A distant last at the final turn
Steve looks up to see
Four leaders fall and crash to the wall
And he skates on to victory
Disbelief in his face
As he sails into history
Steven Bradbury
Last man standing victory
Down opponents 1 2 3
He's skatin' on
Steven Bradbury
Hyperbolic commentary
He's Aussie quintessentially
He's skatin' on
He's skatin' on
We're skatin' on
Yeah skatin' on
Steven Bradbury you bloody beauty

It's just a Brisbane Kinda Love
A Brisbane Kinda Love
It's just a Brisbane Kinda Love
A Brisbane Kinda Love
Annerley and Rosalie
I care for both of thee, equally
Carina, here's looking at ya
Virginia, you're a star
It's just a Brisbane Kinda Love
And I know that you know
What I'm talking about
It's just a Brisbane Kinda Love
And I know that you know
Just what I'm talking about
Alexandra Hills, you thrill me still
And you always will
Ellen Grove, should you ever leave Kelvin
Just call me...
It's just a Brisbane Kinda Love
And I know that you know
What I'm talking about
It's just a Brisbane Kinda Love
And I know that you know
Just what I'm talking about
It's just a Brisbane Kinda Love
A Brisbane Kinda Love

Bradfield Highway

It's a little know fact
That Brisbane has its very own Route 66
Which runs all the way from Fortitude Valley to Kangaroo Point
Driving down the Bradfield Highway
It's the shortest highway in Australia
I feel so inadequate
'Cause it's the shortest highway in the world
