How did ya know? ;-)

Made me think of this little Birthday Shanty that Chanteyranger wrote for me a couple of months ago:

WHUP JENNYO (with apologies to the late Stan Hugill)

Now me lads, be of good cheer, for the Australian land will soon draw near.
In a few days more we'll sight her, dear,
JennyO get yer Mudcat done

CH: Whup, JennyO, whup JennyO,
Ya ringtail Ozgirl this is your big day
Whup JennyO, whup JennyO,
JennyO get yer Mudcat done.

Now the barship is in sight
We'll soon be off the old Rock light
We're getting damned sick of vegemite,
JennyO get yer Mudcat done

CH

Now we're haulin' through with our loot
When we go ashore, we ain't eatin' fruit
Jenny'll be waitin' in her birthday suit,
JennyO get yer mudcat done

CH
