Here Kenneth performs 'The Song Of The Australian Outlaw' in the guise of Rambling Syd.

"Once Long Ago in the shade of a goolie bush,
Toasting his splod by the faggots gleam,
Rested a gander man noggling at his woggling iron
And stuffing a sheep in the Old Mill Stream.
Then up come the troopers and hung him by the billabong,
They twisted his woggle irons one, two, three
Now his ghost sits and moans
As it grunges in his gander can
Who'll come a woggling his jumbuck with me."

  • Rambling Syd was always my favourite part of 'Round The Horne', even though I only ever got to hear the tapes as Kenneth very inconsiderately died 6 years before I was born. The finest radio comedy ever.

  • I dare anybody to read out the lyrics to this Rambling Syd song without cracking. I got as far as the first line!

  • Been catching up with old episodes of Round the Horne on Radio 4 Extra on Monday mornings. Rambling Syd Rumpo FTW.

  • miss this guy so much there is a bit of Danny Kaye and Benny HIll in him he was such a genius lovely gorgeous man xxxxxxxx

  • I remember Round the Horne. My parents used to listen to it every week and if I'd been good i was allowed to listen to it as well. I'm not sure whether that was what gave my love of language, but I used to go round repeating all the funny words I'd heard on the radio when I was a very small kid.

  • @climiac

    Barry Took and Marty Feldman, who wrote the radio comedy series "Round the Horne".

  • What a great Grossmith baritone he would have made. Too bad he could never come to the US and do G&S. It might have kept him alive.

  • My favourite Rambling ditty was/is "The Drunken Nurker" a strirring sea shanty.

  • cracks me up every time i hear it - this song is actually better than the original, and i like the original. loves ya kenny*
