australians are insane


*sung to the tune of waltzing matilda - (duhhhhh!)*
----------------------------------------------------------
once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong,
under the shade of a coolibah tree,
and he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled
"who'll come a-waltzing ma-GILDA, with me?"

waltzing ma-GILDA, waltzing ma-GILDA
"you'll come a-waltzing ma-GILDA, with me"
and he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled,
"you'll come a-waltzing ma-GILDA with me".

down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong,
up got the swagman and grabbed him with glee,
and he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
"you'll come a-waltzing ma-GILDA, with me".

waltzing ma-GILDA, waltzing ma-GILDA
"you'll come a-waltzing ma-GILDA, with me"
and he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
"you'll come a-waltzing ma-GILDA, with me".

down came the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred,
up came the troopers, one, two, three,
"where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?"
"you'll come a-waltzing ma-GILDA, with me".

waltzing ma-GILDA waltzing ma-GILDA
"you'll come a-waltzing ma-GILDA, with me"
"who's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?",
"you'll come a-waltzing ma-GILDA, with me".

up got the swagman and jumped into the billabong,
"you'll never catch me alive," said he,
and his ghost may be heard as you passed by that billabong,
"who'll come a-waltzing ma-GILDA, with me?"

waltzing ma-GILDA, waltzing ma-GILDA
who'll come a-waltzing ma-GILDA, with me
and his ghost may be heard as you passed by that billabong,
"who'll come a-waltzing ma-GILDA, with me?"
----------------------------------------------------------
what the *%&$#@* is this song about anyway?
