Good people committed offences
at the cost of transportation
once it became known
life was worse at home
than it was down under.
With not enough left
to do work that was dirty,
wages and conditions improved
and good people said,
'It's as good up top
as it is where they say men chunder...
in Men...
in They...
but she goes,
so to be a good sport,
Theygoandchunda;
Shegoes and Menchunda,
Theygo and Theychunda for short.
