[tune of House of The Rising Sun]

There is a very special state  
They call Tasmania
And you’ll find it there, down south somewhere
Off mainland Australia
                                   
The people there are pretty well
the same as me and you
and they went and got a Taskforce ‘cos
They want a team in too

They say don’t underrate us
Don’t write us off too soon
don’t forget we gave the world
A talking doll of David Boon

What other state has got a bigger 
Chocolate factory
who else, in the world, can make 
Organic King Island brie

Now Hobart’s population 
Is just less than Geelong’s
And the island’s population is
less than two Wollongongs

It’s a world class destination
that you can’t deny
and they will not rest, til their Taskforce gets
their very own footy side
