Just One City (Melbourne)

Melbourne - beauty bottler! You’re a really bonza place Whenever I return I have a smile upon my face I’ve been everywhere; seen Trafalgar, and Times, Square But Melbourne has a beauty to which they can’t compare No matter where I roam - on land or sea or foam There’s just one city that I want to call my home Melbourne, Melbourne you’ve tied strings around my heart Melbourne, Melbourne I miss you each time we part Now if I had my choice I would never go away But fate sometimes lays down a path from which it’s hard to stray Travelling all around the world can’t set my spirit free Because I miss the city that means all the world to me So each night as I go to sleep I say a little prayer That God will safe my Melbourne keep and I will soon be there No matter where I be - on foam or land or sea There’s just one city that shines in my memory Melbourne, Melbourne is the place I’m dreaming of Melbourne, Melbourne you’re the city that I love Oh I’m proud to be an Aussie but even better still Is the fact I come from Melbourne and I know I always will And whether I’m on the Ile de France, or sailing up the Rhine I wish all children in the world could have a home like mine We Melbournites are lucky and each day we should give thanks To come from that great city built upon the Yarra’s banks No matter where I stand - on sea or foam or land There’s just one city that can make my heart expand Melbourne, Melbourne as a city you’re the best Oh I’ll take Melbourne and you can shove the rest
