In the land Down Under, when work is done, and the weekend’s here, we call it quitin’ time.
When it’s hot out, we hit the backyard, we get our mates here – it’s boozin’ time, oh-yeah!
Do like they do in Uluru, chase away the kangaroos, and get that Hills Hoist high
Cause it’s goon o’clock, so get off ya rock – it’s Goon of Fortune time, yeah!
Spin! Spin! Spin! Spin! Spin…
Let it fly, yeah!

In Australia, mate, this is how we do it – nothin’ fancy to it
Just crack the sack, tie it up – now spin it, round and round.
So if you’re down to clown, just spin it around, and then…
Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug…
Let’s go!

Yeah we Aussies, we love a coldy, champers or chardy if you’re feeling refined.
But when it’s groggin’ time, get ya mates in line – a sack of wine will do just fine!
Oi! Oi! Oi, Oi, Oi!
Go on, hoist that goon sack high! Yeah!
And spin!
Spin! Spin! Spin!
Yeah, let it fly!

U.S.A. does Flip Cup
Japan does Ping Pang Pong
Cubans get drunk with Jenga
Brits sing God Save the King
But down here in the sun, when it’s time for fun – it’s Goon of Fortune mate!
So just crack the sack and pour it back – time to get a little rowdy! Yeah!

Now sing: Sing, spin the goon sack round and round, round and round, round and round. Spin the goon sack round and round. Woo!

Now the Germans run the Kastenlauf…
The Irish spin a silver florin
In Russia they play Bear Paw
In China they salute and shot
But here in the sun, under the gums, it’s Goon of Fortune, mate! Yeah!

So spin! Spin! Spin! Spin! Spin!
Hoist that goon sack high!
Now pour the sack, from the Hills Hoist, Mac
It’s time to throw ‘em back!
