Here in the place of wallaby, echidna and gray kangaroo
And emu and long billed corella and yellow tailed black cockatoo
I may not have much money but i am lucky in a way
In the beautiful wildlife i see every day
I wake every morning to the magpie's warbling song
Unlike me to this place he does belong
In this place he first looked on the lamp of day
And here till the day he will die he will stay
And i am a stranger in this beautiful place
Where to most people here mine is a stranger's face
When i awake at dawn the flute of the magpie i do hear
Earthly Utopia it surely does have to be near
To Illowa between Koroit and Warrnambool
Far south of where i was born and attended school.
