Under the Southern Cross I Stand

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Under the Southern Cross I Stand is the victory song of the Australia national cricket team.

Lyrics[change | change source]

The song's lyrics are:

Under the Southern Cross I stand,
A sprig of wattle in my hand,
A native of my native land,
Australia, you fucking beauty!

Because the word "fuck" is a swear word, if the team sings the song on the pitch, the word is replaced with "little" or "bloody".[1]
