I would like to pay respect to and acknowledge the Wiradjuri people who are the traditional Owners of this land we stand on today. I would also like to pay my respects to the Elders past and present.

[Young people singing]

You gotta vaccinate to keep us safe.
Standing tall's the only way.
You gotta vaccinate to keep us safe.

You gotta vaccinate to keep us safe.
Standing tall's the only way.
You gotta vaccinate to keep us safe.

Wake up in the morning and I'm feeling more healthy.

Anything else cuz will just be helping me.
HPV disease be acting all stealthy.
My flows so cold it can make all of hell freeze.

Me and the boys kicking back, yeah and we're all fit.
Playing 2k all day and it's all weak.
Now that I got your attention, there's a thing I forgot to mention.
If we don't be safe gonna end up with an infection.

You can spread the disease whooping cough and HPV.
I told disease if you can't see me, I'm vaccinated.
Never faking on the beat, beat, beat.

You gotta vaccinate to keep us safe.
Standing tall's the only way.
You gotta vaccinate to keep us safe.
So whatchya gunna do? Whatchya gunna do?

You gotta vaccinate to keep us safe.
Standing tall's the only way.
You gotta vaccinate to keep us safe.
So whatchya gunna do? Whatchya gunna do?

Don't be scared of an injection.
Without it, it can lead to an infection.
Don't be a fool and skip school.
On the day of your immunisation.
Anyways you shouldn't be ditching education.
Even if your teacher's from an alien nation.

When you have whooping cough, be careful around babies.
It's life-threatening and can flow through families.
Vaccine is protection from infection.
Talk to your nurse if you miss out on a dose.
Make sure you vaccinate and stay healthy.

You gotta vaccinate to keep us safe.
Standing tall's the only way.
You gotta vaccinate to keep us safe.
So whatchya gunna do? Whatchya gunna do?

You gotta vaccinate to keep us safe.
Standing tall's the only way.
You gotta vaccinate to keep us safe.
So whatchya gunna do? Whatchya gunna do?

My name is Will Morgan-Fawke, Gundagai Tigers.
Left forward from a man rising.
Why's everyone went to five I'm rhyming.
Playing for the next generation I help.
Life for a living next generation.
Come from Gundagai I live on the mission.
I've beat the best beat, like there's no competition, I'm fishing.

When you walk inside I know, yeah creepy cuz.
But take it from this before you end up with some sick kids.
Make sure you don't catch it, otherwise you end up sick on a mattress.
Whooping cough vaccines provide good protection.
From infection.
So get down with immunisation.
One by one we can help the nation.
Nobody wants to see your family sick.
So please listen up to my message stick.
Stay strong and happy, that's the end of our song.

You gotta vaccinate to keep us safe.
Standing tall's the only way.
You gotta vaccinate to keep us safe.
So whatchya gunna do? Whatchya gunna do?

You gotta vaccinate to keep us safe.
Standing tall's the only way.
You gotta vaccinate to keep us safe.
So whatchya gunna do? Whatchya gunna do?
