"Yakker, Yakker, Yakker" is titled "Laying on the Screw" by Australian poet Edwin J. Brady, musically adapted by Charlie Ipcar. Brady worked on the Sydney docks in the early 1900s and composed several tributes to the stevedores. He also rescued Henry Lawson from acute alcoholism, once or twice.

Cheerily,
