[Intro] D [Verse]
      D                     A7
I was born in a broken down wagonette,

                                  D
On a far distant Queensland stock route.

                         G
My shawl was a dusty old saddle cloth,

      A7                 D
I'm a dinki-di Aussie no doubt!
[Verse]
      D                       A7
I was raised on the milk of a kangaroo,

                              D
And my dummy was a rum bottle cork.

                       G
My diet was damper and bully beef,

      A7                  D
I'm a dinki-di Aussie cornstalk. Lets play now.
[Intrumental] D A7 D G A7 D [Verse]
  D                             A7
I went to the class of a two up school,

                                  D
Where a cockatoo watched for the law.

                              G
My teacher was a bare knuckle pugilist,

      A7                  D
I'm a dinki-di Aussie for sure.
[Verse]
  D                       A7
I work in the country for many months,

                             D
And some people say that I'm queer.

                                 G
With a fat cheque I head for the nearest town,

       A7                   D
and I bust it on horses and beer. Let's play again now.
[Intrumental]
D    A7
       That's the sound we all like.

     D
       Lets go deep now.

     G
 Way down.
A7 D [Verse]
      D                      A7
I'm allergic to red tape and relations,

                          D
No inlaws can yap down my ear.

                             G
I'm often rough, rowdy and I drink a bit,

        A7                        D
I'm the cause of that pub with no beer.
[Verse]
     D                          A7
When finally I go to that other land,

                            D
A preacher man told me "you see".

                               G
He said "The reception will be very warm",

    A7                    D
For dinki-di Aussies like me.
[Verse]
          D                     A7
But I was born in a broken down wagonette,

                                  D
On a far distant Queensland stock route.

                       G
My diet was damper and bully beef,

      A7                 D
I'm a dinki-di Aussie no doubt!

      A7                 D     D
