Australia Lullabies

Lullaby are sing now over a decade, it is what mothers sung to their young children to sleep very well
   
We're happy little Vegemites,
As bright as bright can be.
We all enjoy our Vegemite
For Breakfast, Lunch and Tea.
Our mummies say we're growing stronger
Every single week.
Because we love our Vegemite
We all adore our Vegemite
It puts a rose in every cheek.
One potato, two potato,
Three potato, four,
Five potato, six potato,
Seven potato, more!
   
It's of a wild colonial boy,
Jack Doolan was his name
Of poor but honest parents
He was born in Castlemaine
He was his father's only hope
His mother's pride and joy
And so dearly did the parents love
Their wild colonial boy.

Then come along my hearties
And we'll roam the mountains high
Together we will plunder
Together we will die.
We'll wander o'er the valleys
And we'll gallop over plains
And we'll scorn to live in
Slavery bound down in iron chains.

Twas in eighteen hundred and sixty five
He started his wild career
With a heart that had no danger
No foeman did he fear
He stuck up the Royal Mail beach coach
Aand robbed Judge MacEvoy
With a tremble hand gave up the gold
To the wild colonial boy.

As John rode out one morning
And riding slowly on
When listening to the little birds
They sweetly sang their song
He spied three mounted troopers,
Kelly, Davis and Fitzroy,
All riding up to capture
The wild colonial boy.

Surrender now Jack Doolan
You see there's three to one
Surrender in the Queen's name
It's of a victory won
He fired at trooper Kelly
And he brought him to the ground
And returning right to Davis
He received a mortal wound.
The sailor went to sea, sea, sea
To see what he could see, see, see
But all that he could see, see, see
Was the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea

The sailor went to chop, chop, chop
To see what he could chop, chop, chop
But all that he could chop, chop, chop
Was the bottom of the deep blue chop, chop, chop

The sailor went to knee, knee, knee
To see what he could knee, knee, knee
But all that he could knee, knee, knee
Was the bottom of the deep blue knee, knee, knee

The sailor went to toe, toe, toe
To see what he could toe, toe, toe
But all that he could toe, toe, toe
Was the bottom of the deep blue toe, toe, toe

The sailor went to Timbuktu,
To see what he could Timbuktu
But all that he could Timbuktu
Was the bottom of the deep blue Timbuktu

The sailor went to sea, chop, knee, toe, Timbuktu
To see what he could sea, chop, knee, toe, Timbuktu
That all that he could sea, chop, knee, toe, Timbuktu
Was the bottom of the deep blue sea, chop, knee, toe, Timbuktu
   
I like Aeroplane Jelly, Aeroplane Jelly for me.
I like it for dinner, I like it for tea,
A little each day is a good recipe!
The quality's high as the name will imply,
It's made from pure fruit, one more good reason why
I like Aeroplane Jelly, Aeroplane Jelly for me... ba-boom!
