Thread Name: Australian Songs of Influence
Subject: RE: Australian Songs of Influence
I used to sing two songs from Oz. One was about a shearer called "Bluey Brink" but the other didn't really have a title but I always called it "The Chunder Song" because it was all about expressions for 'being sick!'
The first verse went:- "I was down on Bondi Pier drinking tubes of ice-cold beer,
A bucketful of prawns upon me knee.
When I swallowed the last prawn I had a technicolor yawn
And I chundered in the old Pacific Sea.
Ch
Drink it up; drink it up.
Share another dozen tubes and prawns with me.
If you want to throw your voice
Then you won't have any choice
But to chunder in the old Pacific Sea!
Cheers,
Dave
