If I Could Talk To the Aussies

I have a couple of internet Friends in Australia We like to joke around some, so I wrote them this, To the tune of "Talk To The Animals" (Dr. Dolittle) If I could talk to the Aussies just imagine it Babbling to a Bloke, in Blokaneses Imagine Bantering with Bludgers Chatting to a Cobber What a neat achievement that would be If I could talk to the Aussies Learn all their dialects Maybe get an Aussie slang degree I'd study Cone Toad and Dag Galah, Dill and Bag And of course Ab-bor-rid-gin-e I would parle in Punter and Piker And would curse in fluent Kangaroo If i'm asked , "Can you speak 'Banana Bender' " I'ld say "Both Genders, can't you" If I could talk to the Aussies, learn their languages Think of all the things we'd disagree If I could walk with the Aussies Talk to an Aussies Slang and Bang and hang with an Aussies And they could Slang and Bang and Hang with Me !
