Aussie Taipan
To be a Taipan lethal quick
Deadliest land snake
Is my pick
Coffin head and longer fang
Watch out for the boomerang
9 foot long full of venom
Send spear thrower off to heaven
Brown snakes are pussy cats
Suck down an scoff big old rats
If I get to snap at you
Daisy pushing is your due
No me name aint ol Bevan
Bugger off or go to heaven
I am Taipan coffin head
hypno eyes a birdie said
does ya wanna be
deadly dud dud Dead

If I was Animal What Would I Be?
Aussie Witch Doctor
Witchdoctor could cure you of madness
With a chant and the words of his song
the Dreamtime spirits took sadness
returned you to ok , be long
Some of his people were now big old rocks
The dreamtime it told of their fate
Whistlecocking , if you failed initiation……flint castration rite
No breeding with men of this state
The bone she was pointed
man faded away
Knew he was death anointed
His death song they were a singing
To die just no other way
Faith is the root of his being
The power can lift you so strong
Witch doctor was now all seeing
Emu eggs now coming along…………….when the gidgee tree blossoms
Tribal warrior keen eyed could track a geegar……..tiny black ant
Or Porkypine who clawed the sand two ways………a special treat
You didn’t know if he was coming or going
Spear thrower would eat him today.
The Woomera gave the spear great power
Through a solid door it would slip
Tossed at least 100 yards
If it gets you, no life in your grip
