Now the "Chasers" do their bit for religion.

Hill$ong - Praise the Lord for all this cash

The Chaser's War on Hillsong. For those who don't know, the pastor of Hillsong "Church" wrote a book called "You Need More Money: God wants you to be rich". It worked for him.

and now...................for an old "Aussie" song from many moons ago :wink:

Note quite from "downunder" but we do get an honourable mention or three.....I probably first heard this in the early [very] 1940's,


Is 'E An Aussie, Is 'E Lizzie? - Mr Flotsam & Mr Jetsam c.1930


Take it away Mr Flotsam and Mr Jetsam . . .

Learn how Lizzie met an Aussie

Told her girlfriend Mary-Anne




"Mary-Anne I've met a man who says he's an Austray-ee-an"

"Falling for him have your Lizzie?"

Lizzie blushing shook her head

Said Mary-Anne "don't think you can fool me" and then she said:




"Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, is he?

Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, eh?

Is it 'cos he is an Aussie that he keeps you busy Lizzie?

'as he jazzy ways and does he make you go all fuzzy wuzzy?

Got you dizzy, 'as he Lizzie?

Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, eh?"




Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, is he?

Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, eh?

Is it because he is an Aussie that he keeps you busy Lizzie?

Has he jazzy ways and does he make you go all fuzzy wuzzy?

Got you dizzy, 'as he Lizzie?

Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, eh?"




"Seems this digger likes my figure"

Lizzie then told Mary-Anne

"Likes my ways and claims to think-U'm what these Aussies call fair-dinkum"

"Throws a fond eye, talks of Bondi

And he's tried to kiss me twice

When I said 'No' he said 'Good-oh'"

Said Mary-Anne "How nice"




Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, is he?

Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, eh?

Is it because he is an Aussie that he keeps you busy Lizzie?

Has he jazzy ways and does he make you go all fuzzy wuzzy?

Got you dizzy, 'as he Lizzie?

Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, eh?"




Soon this wonder from Down Under

Got himself right down to biz

Lost no time in coaxing Liz

To promise that she would be his




He being well-born, lived in Mel-bourne

So they sailed at once for there

Poor Mary-Anne without a man

Repeats this maiden's prayer:




"Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, is he?

Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, eh?

Is it because he is an Aussie that he keeps you busy Lizzie?

Has he jazzy ways and does he make you go all fuzzy wuzzy?

Got you dizzy, 'as he Lizzie?

Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, eh?"




(he's a bonza bloke)




Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, is he?

Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, eh?

Is it because he is an Aussie that he keeps you busy Lizzie?

Has he jazzy ways and does he make you go all fuzzy wuzzy?

Got you dizzy, 'as he Lizzie?

Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, eh?"




Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, is he?

Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, is he?


Is he?


Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, is he?


Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, is he, eh?
