Robin in Sydney-

Certainly something to mull over while lifting a tall one on Wattle Street.

Well, actually even Wattle Street's been gussied up since old Stan was there in the 1930's.

And, Lord, whatever did they do to the old Piermont Street neighborhood!

I was on the docks the other night an' everything was still,
I dreamed I saw them Piermont girls; they was dressed up fit to kill!
They wore Hally Hanson camisoles and oilskin lingery
Since old Frederick's of Wallamooloo had decked them out that day!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
