Give East Timor its due,
In the Timor Sea blue.
Well, we all know
What's a fair go —
We must cut it in two.
What's unfair makes us boil,
So for fairness we'll toil.
Oz is greedy
Yes, indeedy
Hands off East Timor's oil!
[Sung to the tune of "Happy Birthday". Lyrics by the Sydney Timor Sea Justice Campaign.]
