Subject: ADD: Girl on Burleigh Beach (Show me the way...)
There are other versions of this parody posted above - buy hey, this on is "official." It's from the Australian Senior Scout Song Book, compliments of Sandra in Sydney.

GIRL ON BURLEIGH BEACH
(Tune: “Show Me the Way to Go Home”)

Show me the way to go home,
Said a girl on Burleigh beach,
I had a swimsuit on about an hour ago,
But it's floated out of reach.
And all I have on now
Is sand and sea and foam,
So give me a page of the Courier-Mail,
And show me the way to go home.
