Lyrics:

[English]

Hey, true blue

Don't say you've gone

Say you've knocked off for a smoko

And you'll be back later on

Hey, true blue

Give it to me straight

Face to face

Are you really disappearing?

Just another dying race

Hey, true blue

(You can sing with me)

True blue

Is it me and you?

Is it mum and dad?

Is it a cockatoo?

Is it standing by your mate

When he's in a fight?

Or will she be right?

True blue, I'm asking you

Hey, true blue

Can you bear the load?

Will you tie it up with wire

Just to keep the show on the road?

Hey, true blue

Now be fair dinkum

Is your heart still there?

If they sell us out like sponge cake

Do you really care?

Hey, true blue

(Here's where you really join in)

True blue (is it me and you?)

Is it me and you? (Mum and dad)

Is it mum and dad? (Cockatoo)

Is it a cockatoo? (Standing by your mate)

Is it standing by your mate?

When she's in a fight

Or will she be right?

True blue (last chance)

I'm asking you

True blue

Is it me and you?

Is it mum and dad?

Is it a kangaroo?

Is it standing by your mate

When he's in a fight?

Or will she be right?

True blue

Thank you
