Oh Oakey Oh Oakey *i£ a cunt of a place
The organisation is a fucking disgrace
There's OCfS of Base Sqn and eon&fe'a too
With things up their arsehole and fuck all to do
They stand on the runway they scream and they shout
5Rxey tell us of things they know fuck all about
For all the good that they might as well be
Shovelling shit on the Isle of Capri
Oh silly and scowl together know nought
Hare you ever asked them all about
The shit catchers union and counting the pans
If its not in the bucket its sure in the fan
A pilot in Base Sqn therfg never been
Until the Duty Officer arrives on the scene
The question is asked where fs your Sam Browne
Qhe pilot says tersely youfre some kind of down
A Dining In night at Oakey convened
All of the honchos appeared on the scene
The Coadr welcomed them with open arms
Well that doesnft mean we cant sing you psalms
refL i
Oh Whitlams the king of this domain
He impresseB opinio©* on us till it pains
Bie regiment knows the whole things a farce
And the whole fucking lot should be shoved up his arse4*

THE AVIATORS PRAYER.
OUR FATHER WHO ART IN CANBERRA
SLOCOMBE BE THY NAME
THE LIBERALS ARE DONE,LABOUR WON
ON CARANDOOLY COURT, ASIT IS AT LANEFIELD,
GIVE US THIS DAY OUR TRAVELLING ALLOWANCE
AND FORGIVE US OUR ACCUSATIONS
AS WE FORGIVE OUR SENIOR OFFICERS
AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION
BUT DELIVER US FROM THE DFRB BOARD
FOR THINE IS THE POWER, THE A4 AND THE MINISTERIAL
FOR EVER AND EVER
AMENo
M^Li^F JEJUNI1 CARRIE
On toj) of Mb Carrie
Without any snov;
We lost a rotator •
From living to low
He put on an air ahov;
'rVas lovely to ecu
On top of lit Garrie
He clobbered a trao;
With maximum power
He made his last rasa
.,,At altitude zero
He busted his aon
LITTLE BROVm MOUSE.
OH THE LIQUOR WAS SPILT ON THE BAR ROOM FLOOR
AND THE BAR WAS CLOSED TOR THE NIGHT
'if«FiW0&mi ffliE m UOffSE
WELL HE LICKED UP THE LIQUOR OFF THE MR ROHM FLOOR
AND BACK ON HIS HAUNCHES HE SAT
AND ALL,NIGHT LONG YOU COULD HEAR HIM ROOR
GREASE UP THE GODDAM CAT.
THE MOONLIGHT POPPER.
I LOVE TO SHIT ON A MOOKLIG1TP HIGH!
FROM THE TOP OF A LOFTY TlUiJS
NOT A SOUND CAN BE HEARD,
BUT THE DROP OF THE TURD
AND THE DRIP DRIP DRIP OF THE P«.V..

You, could hear, the gunners shouting
You could hear the people shout
I can see the "bastards running-
Sure that marking smoke is out
Oh the rice fields they v/ere burning
And the gunsmoke he_could sm-rtf ~
And the firey scene belov him
Made-him whisper holy hell
Whisper holy hell.
There was 50 feet between the--x
As they made their seconl p? ... ■*
He eould hear machine guns ciiuvU c
He could hear the rockets blar.v
Before the VieiflPPg- found thou: cove
His bullets found their ribs
And the leadmans aim was deadlh-
With the weaponr; on fiis ship
Weapons on his ship'-
It was over in a moment
There was silence all around
There before him laj; the bodi..
Of the VC on the ground
He survived the first encounter•
And now he!s like the rest
He was a combat pilot
He had past the crucial tk~ct
Past the crucial test"
Then his CO give the briefing
When th£ VC hif the ground
You must fly along the tree toX)
Bo a recce all around
Our great pilot did his "duty
But you ain't heard the rest
He had shot up sixty ARVN
Who were on a training tont
Who were on a training test
Nov/ the moral of this story
Whilst flying all around
And you think your taking fire
Prom the VC on the ground
And they call you and they ask you
To make a firing pass
Then you tell your fearless leader
He can shove it up his ass
Shove it up his ass.


1
BOMB THE TOV7N
Bomb the town and straff the people
Fire your rockets all around
You will really laugh your ass off
As they crawl along the ground,
Bomb them on a Sunday morning
Get the children while they pray
Lay a rocket on the altar
DonH let any get away.
Drop your bombs in public places
you will kill more if you do
bomb the town and straff the people
It will thrill you thru and thru,
Drop some candy to the children
Watch them all gather 'round
Take your twenty millileter
Gun the little bastards down*

DOWN AMONG THE'SHELTERING PALMS
Down among the Sheltering Palms
I took my girl one day
It was in the month of May
There I laid her down in the grass
She began to wriggle her arse
Then I thought I heard the Angles bumming
And I knew my girl would soon be coming
So I wrapped my legs around her and said
M0h honey, wait for me, well come together
Honey, wait for me,n

CHORUS , It!s a basted away from the women and all .
With a pain ±n the -*uts (from the great lovers ball.
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
