Ooh-ooh-ooh, Melbourne
Ooh-ooh-ooh, Melbourne


Grew up where the Yarra flows through city lights
Coffee steam and skyline dreams in Brunswick nights
Rain on Lygon Street, I’m feelin’ alive
Where the footy roars and the laneways thrive

Hosier blues, street art views
Cafés where you find your muse
You can lose your pain in a rooftop bar
Under southern stars, that’s where we are


In Melbourne!
These streets will light you up like dawn
In Melbourne!
Where dreams wake before they’re gone
From Fitzroy to the edge of the bay
I found myself and I chose to stay
Yeah this heart of mine
Lives in a Melbourne state of mind


Yo—I'm from the 3-0-0-0, where the weather switch lanes
Sippin' flat white in the drizzle, still we run this game
From Docklands to Richmond, we flip pain to rhythm
On trams with a vision, city soul's in our system

Art spills on the walls, culture rich like gold
St. Kilda breeze cold, but the vibe stay bold
Southbank sunsets, rooftop regrets
But I still toast to the city with no sweat


Crown lights shining off the water
Memories drift, I still feel her
Collins calls, my feet keep walking
The city don’t sleep, the streets keep talking


In Melbourne!
These streets will light you up like dawn
In Melbourne!
Where dreams wake before they’re gone
From Fitzroy to the edge of the bay
I found myself and I chose to stay
Yeah this heart of mine
Lives in a Melbourne state of mind

Melbourne Empire
