And
But give me a girl that will wriggle and will twist:
At the bottom of the belly lies the cuckoo's nest.


became
But give me a girl that will wriggle and will twist:
And shove it right home into the cuckoo's nest.

in "Navvy on the line" in Oz.
Sung in the major key it has only the one verse and chorus;

I'm a nipper, I'm a ripper, I'm a navvy on the line
I get four and twenty bob a week beside my overtime
All the ladies love a navvy and the navvies love the fun
There'll be plenty little babies when the railway's done.

Chorus as above

Cheers, Rowan
