AUSSIE BUSH HAT
What was that bit of gear
Used to hide our fear
Worn by Diggers at Nui Dat?
The crumpled and torn Aussie Bush Hat.
Worn low to cover the eyes
You fit in, one of the guys
Part of your gear, like a Gat.
The crumpled and torn Aussie Bush Hat.
The Aussie Diggers known throughout the ages
We are there on histories pages
Not like the yanks with a metal hard hat.
The soft cloth Aussie Bush Hat.
You can keep your green beret
'Cause that's not our way
Nothing fancy, we don't do that.
The soft cloth Aussie Bush Hat.
