once a aussie yobbo named pete
who only wore thongs on his feet
a bunion grew on his toes
and a red wart on his nose
over were his days at the beach
------------------------------------------------------
there once was a jackaroo
who went by the name of blue
work all day in the sun
at night he`d have much fun
when his brain got too much CO2
-----------------------------------------------------
the back of burke lived mick dundee
the story went he was bitten by a croc and became an amputee
they took him all the way to the big smoke
but the folks there could never understand him when he spoke
-------------------------------------------
mulga bill
said "i can ride a bike from here to brazil"
the folks from eaglehawk laughed at the sight
when into the water bill and bike took flight
----------------
*mulga bill-based on poem muga bills bicycle by banjo patterson
*eaglehawk was a town outside of bendigo, victoria-australia, but now a suburb of bendigo
-----
*aussie slang interpretations:
yobbo-unruly young person
jackaroo-a young man working on a sheep or cattle station
thongs-flip-flops
back of burke-remote/outback
