I have just heard that someone in Oz has claimed a Dave Houlden song as Australian ! Chous is :-

I was about to fall apart , I'd had more than my ration
I'd had ten pints of Breakspears they'd have done me on their own
Then I got on the vodka , scotch , and drinks of every nation
And then I was transported on my ear through the pub door

Tune is the Trad Song My Names Napoleon Bonaparte (Napoleon transported to St Helena's shore)

Dave died in 1991 , and a collection of his songs was published for Charity in 1994 . I understandthat several people have learned the song as from Australia , and would like to know who has popularised it over there - NO problem , Dave was always pleased to give his songs away , just like to get credit where its due .
