"Australia's waiting" Fitzy and Wippa song parody

We went more than a week without a gold medal while the silver came flooding in so Fitzy and Wippa thought it was time to write a song to the tune of Missy Higgins' new single "Everyone's Waiting".

The shackles have since been broken with a gold onslaught in the sailing, along with Anna Meares in the cycling and Sally Pearson in the 100m hurdles.

LYRICS

Four years and the team’s on their way
Expectation’s the word of the day
The girls kicked it off with a gold in the winning relay

Then it was time for the boys
Excitement, a nation was poised
Success inevitable
It was time to raise
The medal tally

But everyone’s waiting
We misfired the missile and now it is silver that we’re displaying
And everyone’s waiting 

We’ve had gastro and plenty of stress
One rowers been placed under arrest
Have our bikes got a flatty or our rowers are they missing an oar?

We need someone to blame
A finger to point
Cos everyone’s winning
Except for us, we’re getting smashed by the Kiwis and bloody Great Britain
Turn it off, I just want to the telly off

And Australia is waiting
It’s ironic the hurdles we faced gave us gold from Sally Pearson
Now Rio is waiting
