00:00In Darwin once a year where the tropic breezes blow
00:16The Aussies gather round down by the ocean flow
00:21On Mendel Beach they come with laughter in the air
00:26For the beer can regatta, it's a party beyond compare
00:32They build their boats with pride, cans of beer stacked high
00:36SSVB, a beer can aircraft carrier
00:40Beneath the open sky, friends and family cheer
00:44From the shoreline they shout
00:47Hoping that their vessel won't suddenly capsize out
00:52An ammo, bitter beer can bike in long, both thirty foot long
00:59The race starts and a dozen beer can boats are going strong
01:04With water cannons and flower bomb catapults
01:09The boats race for the finish line with all their faults
01:15Covered in flour, the water can turn the flour to dope
01:20Beer can boats break apart and cans float in the tides float
01:25Sticky and tired, the crew swim as the boats sink
01:30And SSVB wins the day crossing the finish line in a blink
01:36Beer can be a beer can ragatta, where memories are made, made
01:43In the Northern Territory won't let tradition fade, fade
01:49With our mates and kegs and sunshine in the summer's golden glow
01:54Blow the race along the beach
01:57Is the best show you'll ever know
02:00Is the best show you'll ever know
02:03The water's warm and clear underneath the southern sun
02:13They paddle and they laugh in boats built just for fun
02:18Coming ready to raise the key
02:21As they race the salty tide
02:26On the SSVB with Aussie Pride
02:31Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
02:38Oh, yeah, the boats may not be pretty, but they float upon the waves
02:46A tribute to ingenuity and the energy it saves
02:51It's not about winning, but the laughter and the cheer
02:56As Darwin's beer can regatta fills the air
03:01Of the camera batter, where memories are made, made
03:06In the Northern Territory won't let tradition fade, fade, fade
03:12With mates and kegs and sunshine in the summer's golden glow
03:17Glow the race along the beach is the best show you'll ever know
03:24It's the best show you'll ever know
03:27Here in Australia
03:35Here in Australia
03:37Here in Australia
03:40Here in Australia
03:42Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
04:12Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
