G                                          C                      D
Animals have families: Koalas, Kangaroos,
G                                       C                D
Platypus, Sugargliders, Lyrebirds, too.
G                                                   C                           D
God gave us our families. It’s there we learn to share.
         C              D                      G   C   D
We learn to love and how to care.

Chorus:
          G (A)
Tell a rellie. Tell your fam.
               C (D)                   D (E)
Tell your mum about the Lamb.
           G (A)
Like a joey and a roo,
            C (D)      D (E)
Jesus cares for you.
          G (A)                          C (D)  D (E)
He’s ridgy didge and He’s dinky-di!
    C (D)                         D (E)         G (A)
G’day! Hoo roo! Cheerio! Good-bye!
    C (D)                         D (E)         G (A)    Key change chord: E
G’day! Hoo roo! Cheerio! Good-bye!

We are all God’s children and He loves us, too.
Father to the fatherless, He cares for you.
Jesus died to save us. What more could He do?
He rose again. Oh, yes, that’s true.

Last Chorus:
Tell a cobber or a mate,
That your God is really great.
Tell a bloke who is broke,
That this ain’t no joke.
He’s ridgy didge and He’s dinky-di!
He’s grouse! Bonza! And I reckon...Too right!
He’s grouse! Bonza! And I reckon...Too right!
