Is fire good? Is fire bad?
Because it destroys the home and the country?
But sometimes this may be good
Grandfather, grandmother, mother and father
Have always used and been dependent on fire
For them it is very important
White people are concerned about bushfires
And are quick to work together to put them out
Fire!

You are continually always getting grog
When are you going to stop drinking?
When are you going to stop drinking?
Your wife and kids are waiting
All the people are wanting you
You are continually always getting grog
Your child is crying because he is hungry
You are not listening or thinking correctly today
Man the grog will kill you mob today
Don't be like this man

Should eat good food to grow up without sickness
If you give the kids proper food they will live healthy
A lot of kids are getting sick together
Why do you mob continually give them bad food?
Open your ears and listen to what the doctor says
A lot of small children are spending a long time in hospital
Too much sugar, too many cool drinks
Too many lollies and chips together is no good
On the other hand oranges, meat, potatoes, all these things almost never get eaten
The little kids might get sick
