00:00Out in the bush, or even in the city, lives a blue-tongued lizard, as Aussie as can be.

00:15Name was Bluey, no surprise there, he had a strut like he owned every inch of the air.

00:21He lays in the sun near the Eskian thongs, cracking his neck to the magpie songs.

00:28But if you got too close, he'd whip round his head, stick out his tongue like, mate, you're dead.

00:36Bright blue and bold, that liquor was loud, a proper Aussie for golf.

00:41He was damn proud, didn't eat teeth or a venomous bite, just that neon blue sass to spark a good pride.

00:50Gotta love a blue-tongued lizard, lizard.
