A fun celebration of the great state of Western Australia. Perth, it’s capital city, is one of the most isolated in the world. WA covers a huge area with many natural wonders and great achievers. It’s worth the trip!
Please adjust the number of scores required. Copyright law requires that scores be purchased based on the number of singers. Please support my work by respecting this requirement.

Intro If you ask us what's so great about the place that we come from We'd still be singing 'til the cows come home There's so much that we could say Before they drag us all away Let's do it anyway!
Chorus From Manjimup to Marble Bar From Kununnarra to Mandurah You'd have to go a mighty long way To find a place like W, WA
Verse 1 Miles and miles of coastline Forests that grow so high Flowers that bloom in the desert Look up to the endless blue sky
Verse 2 Treasures are buried below us Diamonds and oil and gold The dolphins of Monkey Mia A treasure that cannot be sold
Bridge You might say it's a mighty long way From the Swan to Botany Bay But we'd say that's a small price to pay To find a place like W, WA
Interlude We've got the West Coast Eagles - Eagles! We’ve got The Dockers too - Freo! We've got the Bungle Bungles How 'bout you?
Rap We got the quokka and the WACA and the Cocklebiddy Caves The Doctor's cool, there's a Rock like a Wave! We come from near and we come from afar We're the kids from the WEST That's WHO WE ARE!
Chorus From Manjimup to Marble Bar From Kununnarra to Mandurah You'd have to go a mighty long way To find a place like W, WA
You'd have to go a mighty long way To find a place like WA It's like finding a needle in the hay To find a place like W, WA
