         [Verse] 
         
        Pete the platypus lays an egg at dawn 
         
        Duck bill shining while the day's coming on 
         
        Beaver tail slaps as rivers run free 
         
        Otter-footed wanderer 
         
        Wild as can be 
         
        [Verse 2] 
         
        Born in the land where the gum trees sway 
         
        Under southern stars at the break of day 
         
        Lap at the waters where secrets lie 
         
        Pete swims strong beneath the sapphire sky 
         
        [Chorus] 
         
        Oh Pete the platypus so strange so true 
         
        National mascot in brown and blue 
         
        Waddle through the reeds yeah make a splash 
         
        With every egg laid you keep the world abash 
         
        [Verse 3] 
         
        Creek life hums where Pete makes his home 
         
        In the tangled roots where critters roam 
         
        Snout sniffing tales that fish have spun 
         
        Outback storyteller kissed by the sun 
         
        [Bridge] 
         
        Whiskers wiggle tales of ancient lore 
         
        Swimming deep where the rivers roar 
         
        Your webbed feet whisper secrets untold 
         
        Pete the platypus wild and bold 
         
        [Chorus] 
         
        Oh Pete the platypus so strange so true 
         
        National mascot in brown and blue 
         
        Waddle through the reeds yeah make a splash 
         
        With every egg laid you keep the world abash  |
