But thera's nothing so lonely morbid -or queer Than: to knock off a bairmaid thatfs got gonorrhoea* The pubMcian!s anxious for the Chemist to ccrne Ha!s looking with lust at tha bairmaid !s big bum He's; waiting to giva her a belt up tha back" But without a french letter ha might get tha jack The. s/tcckman rides in with a masterly stroke Takes the pants off har , and gives her a poke* The look on his face quickly turns to a sneer, When tha bairtnaid informs him sh&'s got gonorrhoea The swaggie rides, in undoing his fly He sais. ffgive me a poke or irll shoot in-yevtr eye The stockman jumps up and sais fDont do it mate' But the swaggie sais loudly f It*s too bloody late* Billy the blacksmith for the first time in his. life Goes home with a Lodger for his darling wife. Ls he walks in the bedroom she sais with a sneer 1 Without a French letter you'll get nothing here There's a dog en the verandah still suffering from shock He's just seen the size cf old Billie.s cock HE dashes for cover and cringes with fear Billy's sure to root something I'm moving from here The old mele moll rolls in all dusty and dry Takes a pad from her pouch and wipes the spuffik from her eyes She rolls up to the bar and orders three fcot of cock But the bc?.irman says sadly ' We're ri^ht rut of stock She turns to the boys as she opens her twet ijid with a twitch of her tit she sucks up the lot The bar is. al.l urnpt^' there's a half muffled cheer Whose the black bastarn with his'dick in my beer. VJcll Jacky the blackboy is hanging real slack He'Si been rooting goannas back u..> the track Pie laughs and abuses the rooters within He might be a blackboy but he get& it right in The publican's anxious for the doctor to come There's a piece of green moit hanging down from his bum The cock's, gone all randy and the maids covered her rear Now she's get green meat growing out of her ear The doctor arrives he thinks it's the piles The only one cure is a large rat tailed file He stitched up the maid and covered u\. her ears It's no place frr a fuck ~ the FubJithNc Beer
