"Is 'E an Aussie, Is 'E Lizzie?" by Mr Flotsam and Mr Jetsam (1920's/1930's England)
Is 'E an Aussie, Is 'E Lizzie?
Learn how Lizzie met an Aussie
Told her girlfriend Mary-Anne
"Mary-Anne I've met a man who says he's an Austray-ee-an"
"Falling for him have your Lizzie?"
Lizzie blushing shook her head
Said Mary-Anne "don't think you can fool me" and then she said:
"Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, is he?
Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, eh?
Is it 'cos he is an Aussie that he keeps you busy Lizzie?
'as he jazzy ways and does he make you go all fuzzy wuzzy?
Got you dizzy, has he Lizzie?
Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, eh?"
Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, is he?
Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, eh?
Is it because he is an Aussie that he keeps you busy Lizzie?
Has he jazzy ways and does he make you go all fuzzy wuzzy?
Got you dizzy, has he Lizzie?
Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, eh?"
"Seems this digger likes my figure"
Lizzie then told Mary-Anne
"Likes my ways and claims to think-U'm what these Aussies call fair-dinkum"
"Throws a fond eye, talks of Bondi
And he's tried to kiss me twice
When I said 'No' he said 'Good-oh'"
Said Mary-Anne "How nice"
Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, is he?
Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, eh?
Is it because he is an Aussie that he keeps you busy Lizzie?
Has he jazzy ways and does he make you go all fuzzy wuzzy?
Got you dizzy, has he Lizzie?
Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, eh?"
Soon this wonder from Down Under
Got himself right down to biz
Lost no time in coaxing Liz
To promise that she would be his
He being well-born, lived in Mel-bourne
So they sailed at once for there
Poor Mary-Anne without a man
Repeats this maiden's prayer:
"Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, is he?
Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, eh?
Is it because he is an Aussie that he keeps you busy Lizzie?
Has he jazzy ways and does he make you go all fuzzy wuzzy?
Got you dizzy, has he Lizzie?
Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, eh?"
(he's a bonza bloke)
Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, is he?
Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, eh?
Is it because he is an Aussie that he keeps you busy Lizzie?
Has he jazzy ways and does he make you go all fuzzy wuzzy?
Got you dizzy, has he Lizzie?
Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, eh?"
Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, is he?
Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, is he?
Is he
Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, is he?
Is he an Aussie, Lizzie, is he, eh?
Little Betty Bouncer by Mr Flotsam and Mr Jetsam (1920's/1930's England)
Little Betty Bouncer
Little Betty Bouncer is kind to her people
And a nice girl, more or less
But at present, no joke, she's causing her folks no end of deep destress
For she's quite mad about a man she's never met
And it's all though an innocent crystal-set
Little Miss Bouncer loves an announcer down at the BBC
She doesn't know his name
But how she rejoices
When she hears that voice of voices
Absolutely tireless
Sitting at the wireless
Poor little Miss B
It's the man who announces
With such a lot of passion in it
"The Daventry shipping forecast will follow in a minute"
Little Miss Bouncer loves an announcer down at the BBC
She almost passes right away the silly little clown
Whenever he announces that the station's closing down
Your would think from her behaviour when he mentions oscillation
That there wasn't any difference between that and osculations
His voice must be perculiar, for the other afternoon
He spoke of Mr Jetson and she fell into a swoon
Another night she went around and tore her flax and dresses
Because he hadn't mentioned her among the S O S's
When she came to, the sentimental kid
Cound't stand it any longer, and what do you think she did?
Little Miss Bouncer wrote to the announcer down at the BBC
The answer she received is worth reciting
By return of post in plain handwriting
All address and dated, this is what it stated
Dear little Miss B.
"Here's a picture of my babies
And the eldest is the laddy
And you may like to know is the image of his daddy
To Dear Miss Bouncer from the wife of the announcer
Down at the BBC"
