Ma(m)bo


Company B Lyrics

 

Ma(m)bo 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:
Mabo!
Keating:
For the Meriam people
Band:
Mabo!
Keating:
It was very unequal
Band:
Mabo!
Keating:
Was it totally legal? Oh no!
Watch me now!
[Saxophone solo]
Band:
Mabo!
Mabo!
Mabo!
Keating:
Here comes another one!
Band:
Mabo!
Keating:
Native title
Band:
Mabo!
Keating:
It's alive and vital
Band:
Mabo!
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...
