Composed by Jack Lumsdaine to celebrate the opening of the much-awaited Sydney Harbour Bridge, and performed by Len Maurice.

'Folks from Manly gay, or over Mosman way. Now they can take a stroll across to Double Bay! If you miss the midnight ferry, there's a path from shore to shore. Australian sons let us rejoice - it's the bridge we've been waiting for!'
