HIGH EXPLOSIVE
(A.B 'Banjo' Paterson/Wallis & Matilda)

Twas the dingo pup to his dam that said
"It's time I worked for my daily bread
Out in the world I intend to go
And you'd be surprised at the things I know"

"There's a wild duck's nest in a sheltered spot
And I'll go right down and I'll eat the lot"
But when he got to his destined prey
He found that the ducks had flown away

But an egg was left that would quench his thirst
So he bit the egg and it straightway burst
It burst with a bang, and he turned and fled
For he thought that the egg had shot him dead

"Oh, mother," he said, "let us clear right out
Or we'll lose our lives with the bombs about
And it's lucky I am that I'm not blown up -
It's a very hard life," said the dingo pup
