G'day, yet again, Phillipa,

The message from Jon reminds me that another Australian descendant of Killaloo does have a chorus - and it is a direct parody of the Killaloo chorus. It also uses the name McCarty (in this case the larrikin 'hero' of the song. (I can still remember

My Name it is McCarty and I'm a rorty party,
(OR:My Name it is McCarty and my father drives a carty)
A larrikin so hearty, strike me blue.
(OR: I'm rough and tough as an old man kangaroo)
Some people say I'm crazy; I don't work because I'm lazy,
And I hang around with the boozy mob, the push from Woolloomooloo.

I will pursue the printed original (and any other collected version ... there must be a few) and pass back anything that might be helpful. I see that Alan Foster has posted a good version of Woolloomooloo in the DT, so you can look at /listen to it ... as long as you can successfully spell Woolloomooloo!

Regards,

Bob Bolton
