In the 1970s Malcolm Frazer
The Australian Prime Minister
Gave the Lebanese a concession
Where we let in migration
Of Muslim Refugees
Of their Civil War to flee
And we had a number of them
As unskilled rural workers in the end
Now these second and third generation
Lebanese have members in our irritation
As armed criminals in Sydney Gangs weight
They say these ones refuse to assimilate
Let's bring in people who enrich us
And can do this without fuss
If we are not careful this could happen again
When others come to Australia we need them to blend
We should be a multicultural society
But we should have standards without this propriety.
