There are some very cringe worthy silly Aussie songs such as - Tie me Kangaroo down sport Tie me kangaroo down Tie me Kangaroo down sport Tie me kangaroo down. Tan me hide when I'm dead Fred Tan me hide when I'm dead So they tanned his hide when he died Clyde And that's it hanging on the shed Altogether now Tie me Kangaroo down etc etc (Courtesy of Rolf Harris) OR Oh it's lonesome away from your kindred and all By the campfire at night where the wild dingos call But there's nothing so lonesome, morbid or drear Than to stand in the bar of a pub wiwth no beer. I won't subject you to all the verses!!!

Sweet Violets: There once was a farmer who took a young miss To the back of the barn where he gave her a lecture on horses and chickens and eggs And told her that she had such beautiful manners that suited a girl of her charms A girl that he wanted to take in his Washing and ironing and then if she did They could get married and raise lots of Sweet violets, sweeter than the roses, Covered all over from head to toe Covered all over in sweet violets. Etc. Anyone know it? Or am I showing my age?

Can,t believe this is still on...........all you cowards waiting till I had gone to bed.....................Running down Elvis>>>>>>>>>>>> Tut........

Well I dont see Terry Scott's my bruvver I quite often hear myself humming this song but cant remember all the word. My Bruvver said it was not he That shampoo in grandma's tea Come on give us yer hand, What have ya had in yer hand? Have yer? Cor!!

Real live toad in the hole..........Where are yoy Dee, you are good at this..........

Sandra,, I may even start looking for one hit wonders on another thread soon!!!! Gloryer, I used to like 'My Brother' as well, always thought it was Charlie Drake until quite recently Anna It's good to know you have silly songs 'down under' ;-))

Done the cocoa bit........black coffee now......

Sandra, perhaps you shouldn't have adulterated your cocoa ;-))

Of course there is that Kiwi classic sung by Fred Dagg (dont know all the words): If it werent for your gumboots where would you be? You'd be in the hospital or infirmary.

Hi Huia Here it is Gumboots John Clarke, alias Fred Dagg Gumboots they are wonderful, gumboots they are swell, They keep out the water, and they keep in the smell, And when you're sitting 'round at home, you can always tell, When one of the Trevs has taken off his gumboots. If it weren't for your gumboots where would you be? You'd be in the hospital or infirmary, For you would have a dose of the 'flu, or even pleurisy, If you did't have your feet in your gumboots! Now there's rugby boots and racing boots and boots for drinking rum, But the only boots I'm never without are the ones that start with gum, I've got short ones and long ones, some up to me belt, I'm not dressed till I've got on me gumboots. Chorus Now Rob Muldoon and Rowling, they haven't made a hit, They're ruining the country, more than just a bit, If they keep on the way they are going, we'll all be in turds, So you'd better get your feet in your gumboots. Chorus (falsetto): Whenever I sing at the Opera, me gumboots are a must! They help me hit the high notes, and protect me feet from du-u-u-u-u-ust! They keep the water well away, so me voice won't get no rrrrrust. You won't not never see me - without me gumboots! Chorus x2

Hi, Dee. Are you a Kiwi too. If not how do you come to know such a song?

No I'm not a Kiwi Huia I did a search on the net and found it ;-))

Who remembers this little gem? Mairzy dotes and dozy dotes and little lamsy divey, A kiddly divey, too -- wouldn't you? Mairzy dotes and dozy dotes and little lamsy divey, A kiddly divey, too -- wouldn't you? Now if the words sound queer, and funny to your ear, A little bit jumbled and jivey, Just say, 'Mares eat oats, and does eat oats, And little lambs eat i - vy.' Mairzy dotes and dozy dotes and little lamsy divey, A kiddly divey, too -- wouldn't you? A kiddly divey, too -- a kiddly divey,too, A kiddly divey, too -- wouldn't you? I'm showing my age now! :>) Anna

Hi All Just had read through all the songs brought a few memoreys back lol Was'nt it Ronnie Hilton who did Windmill in old Amsterdam first ? Steve

Remember this one? Mau ;0)) The Streak Hello everybody, this is your action news reporter With all the news that is news across the nation On the scene at the super market There seems to have been some disturbance here Pardon me sir, did you see what happened? Yeh, I did...I was standing over there by the tomatoes And here he come Running thru the pole beans, thru the fruits and vegetables Naked as a jay-bird And I hollered over at Ethel...Isaid don't look Ethel It was too late, she'd already been incensed... Chorus Here he comes, boogie-dy, boogie-dy There he goes, boogie-dy, boogie-dy And he ain't wearin' no clothes Oh yes, they call him the streak Fastest thing on two feet He's just as proud as he can be Of his anatomy He's gonna give us a peek Oh yes, they call him the streak He likes to show off his physique If there's an audience to be found He'll be streakin' around Invitin' public critique... This is your action news reporter once again And we're here at the gas station Pardon me sir, did you see what happened? Yeh, I did...I was just in here gettin' my tires checked And he just appeared out of the traffic Come streakin' around the grease rack there Didn't have nothing on but a smile I looked in there and Ethel was gettin' her a cold drink I hollered...Don't look Ethel It was too late...She'd already been mooned Flashed her right there in front of the shock absorbers Chorus He ain't rude, boogie-dy, boogie-dy He ain't lewd, boogie-dy, boogie-dy He's just in the mood to run in the nude Oh yes, they call him the streak He likes to turn the other cheek He's always making the news Wearin' just his tennis shoes Guess you could call him unique... Once again, your action news reporter in the booth at the gym Covering the disturbance at the basketball playoffs Pardon me sir, did you see what happened? Yeh, I did...half-time, I was just going down there To get Ethel a snow cone Here he come right our of the cheap seats Dribblin'...right down the middle of the court Didn't have on nothin' but his PF's Made a hook shot and got out thru the concession stand I hollered up at Ethel, I said don't look Ethel It was too late...She'd already got a free shot Grandstanded...Right there in front of the home team Here he comes...look...who's that with him? Ethel, is that you, Ethel? What do you think you're doing? You get your clothes on! Ethel, where you going? Ethel, you shameless hussy Say it isn't so Ethel Ethel..................

what about ' Dum, dum, diddely dum' by Brenda Lee. I am not here..Supposed to be packing but can't resist a peek every time I go past the computer.............

Steve, Ronnie Hilton made it in 1965, not sure when Max made it though Dee ;-))

Oh yes Mau, remember that one ;-))

What about 'Don't Jump off the Roof Dad'? I think it was Tommy Cooper or maybe Terry Scott that sang it. Daddy came home from work tired His boss had been driving him mad. The kids were all shouting, the dog bit him too His dinner was nothing but boiled over stew. I guess it was then he decided Up to the rooftop he'd go He was about to jump off when The kids started howling below 'Don't jump off the roof, Dad You'll make a hole in the yard Mother's just planted petunias The weeding and seeding was hard If you must end it all, Dad Won't you please give us a break Just take a walk down the park, Dad And there you can jump in the lake.' Or 'I'm a Pink Toothbrush, You're a Blue Toothbrush' You're a pink toothbrush, I'm a blue toothbrush Have we met somewhere before? You're a pink toothbrush and I think toothbrush That we met by the bathroom door. Glad to meet toothbrush, such a sweet toothbrush How you thrill me through and through Dont be hard toothbrush on a soft toothbrush 'Cause I cant help loving you. Every time I hear you whistle...... it makes my nylon bristle....... You're a pink toothbrush, I'm a blue toothbrush Won't you marry me in haste? I'll be true toothbrush, just to you toothbrush When we both use the same toothpaste.' Sue x
