G'day ...

GUEST's version (VERSION ... ?) is clearly related to what I learned around Sydney in the late 1950s:

Charlotte the harlot lay dying,
A pisspot supporting her head.
Around her three poofters* were lying, as she
Rolled on her left tit and said:

"I've been fucked by the League of all Nations,
The Irish, the Scotch and Jew -
And now I have come to Australia,
To be fucked by three bastards like you!".

* As kids we didn't quibble about this inconsistency!

However, the local tune of choice seems to have been Botany Bay, rather than Villikins. Possibly starts out post WW I (League of Nations, rather than United Nations) ... but, by no stretch of the imagination, Renaissance!

So we are up to 3 tunes: Eton Boating Song, My Bonnie, and Botany Bay.
