Chorus of We Must All Fall In (If We Want To Win)

We must all fall in, if we want to win,
For that is the only way,
Some don't care, well that's not fair;
Ev'ry man must do his share.
There's a job for me and a job for you.
So rise to Australia's call;
If we all pull together, boys,
We'll come out on top after all!

A "Dixie" (from the Hindi degci) was an army cooking pot.
