about

I'm Sixteen thousand miles from home
And my heart is fairly aching
To think that I should humble so
To come out here stone breaking

chorus

With my hooral-dooral diddy falloral
Diddy Falloral Dee-i-do
Ooral-dooral diddy falloral
Diddy falloral dee-i

Bad luck then to my Mum and Dad
Who reared me up so lazy
With a silver spoon I'm a regular loon
With hunger I'm very near crazy

chorus

I'll go and list the army
I'll go and list the rifle
And if i get shot I'll forget the lot
All hunger and all trifle

chorus
