Wily Bill From Broken Hill Poem by Paul Warren

He was Wily Bill from Broken Hill
He could easily sell or buy any deal
With the flash of his pearly whites
His salesmanship could reach new heights

It was once said he could sell ice to Eskimos
And he had a sales invoice of the deal that showed
This fact for all to see and the truth of it
He would make any deal finally fit

But one day on the open highway in the Outback
His wiliest deal was with the devil in an unholy pact
For he dealt his life for the service of the devil
And if you make a deal with Beelzebub from Hell

For your deal as you want will be eventually won
As is it Wily Bill with whom you deal has begun
And take it from me he will make it the real deal
But the price you pay will have a Wily Bill feel.
