The Jumbuck Adventure of Rincewind

Enjoy it. And read the dictionary properly!


Complete lyrics here:

Sir?
I'm your big fan, sir! I really admire what you've done!
But, er, I want to ask you , ehm... Would you mind to get drowned instead of being hanged? It really fits perfectly to my new ballad, sir!
So would you mind? Oh no, I've got it! I'll sing it first, than you'll decide it!

WALTZING MATILDA

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong,
Under the shade of a Coolibah tree,
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boil,
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me,
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boil
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee,
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me,
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

Up rode the squatter mounted on his thorough-bred
Down came the troopers One Two Three
Whose that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me




Whose that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker-bag
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

Up jumped the swagman sprang in to the billabong
You'll never take me alive said he,
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

Waltzing Matilda Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

It's very good. But now you made me want to see The Last Continent as an Australian Musical Film! It would have great moments...

Wonderful!

[herka2008]

Oh, well, it surely would... Just give me lots and lots of time and few good singers... :)))
