The truth of the matter ©
as told by bill the old battler
Now you English Love your queen
but when she came to Australian the first time
I taught her this trick which is now called
THE ROYAL WAVE it come about like this
As they drove past, this is what happened
I was working in the garden,
like a naive, that was me.
And the sweat and I was partin,
for it was leaving me real free.
An the fly’s, were flaming lazy,
when they landed on my back.
Cause me shirt became quite crazy,
with its colour now fly black,
And the sun was quite relentless,
shinning bright an rather hard.
And it seems it couldn’t care less,
as I worked out in the yard.
And me sweat was flowing free'er,
in me eyes an down me back.
And fly's were getting worse'er,
crawling slowly down me back.
An me trouser's was changin colour
from catchin all me flamin sweat
an those fly's are full of valour
as they slowly crept down yet.
When those fly's they all erupted,
an they swarmed around me head.
They should have been contented.
cause I blew of there instead.
