“The loveliest eyes I ever seen, I see colours of Australia, colours everywhere. The colours of Australia, the beauty we all share; so let’s hold hands and show care. I see with my little eyes; blond and black and red; straight and long, curly and short, different hair in different heads. I spy with my little eyes; peach and tan and brown, cheeks and nose, fingers and toes beautiful skin is all around. We are lucky to live in a colourful World with friendly boys and girls; we all look different but on the inside we have the same heart we were it with pride. I see colours, colours of Australia the beauty we all share; colours everywhere!
