why don't more Aussies
go and give blood
its all very easy
there's never a flood

of life giving fluid
always it's short
and as all will know
life can't be bought

in other parts
of the world to-day
their are some folk
who bleed for their pay

it's got to be
much better our way
so let's keep it free
forever to stay

a pint is all you'll give
for some poor ill soul
the feeling you get
is like kicking a goal

they'll test you
for all manner of sin
and that too is free
each way it's a win

when all is done
you'll lie around for a while
with bickies and tea
fruit juice and a smile

a stick you'll get
to whack on your car
a white bandage too
to show what you are

a donor of blood
is said to be special
to give of yourself
and not take a shekel

pleased be with yourself
and all will admire
the giver of blood
let no life expire
