The Olympic Boycott Song (in three movements)


24 May 2000

The Olympic Boycott Song (in three movements)

1. To the tune of “God Save the Queen”.

Boycott the bloody games,
Boycott the bloody games,
Boycott the games,
Send a clear message out, join us and scream and shout,
Boycott the games.

Let's be victorious, our stand is glorious,
Be proud of your stand with us,
And boycott the games.

Boycott the bloody games,
Boycott the bloody games,
Boycott the bloody games,
Boycott the games.
2. To the tune of “Waltzing Matilda”.

Once a jolly blackfella penned the words of his protest song,
Under the shade of a Coolabah tree,
And as he sung and he hummed and scribbled out his protest song,
Who'll come and sing this protest song with me.

Boycott the bloody games,
Boycott the bloody games,
Boycott the bloody games,
Boycott the games with me.
And the tune may be heard as you walk through the streets of Perth,
So come and join the boycott with me.
To the tune of “Advance Australia Fair”.

Australians let us all unite and boycott the bloody games,
We're sick and tired of being abused and called offensive names,

Our parliament divides us and abuses human rights,
Let's boycott the bloody Olympic Games and teach them wrong from right.
