Why don't you join Billy Hughes' army
With ten bob a day and nothing to eat
Great big boots and blisters on your feet
Why don't you join Billy Hughes' army
Why don't you join Suharto's army
With a gun in hand sent overseas
To kill for family companies
Why don't you join Suharto's army
Why don't you join little George's army
The son of a king, he's a fraud in the ring
Telling to kill in the name of peace
Why don't you join little George's army
