Now, a man in Oodnadatta / He grew fat, and he grew fatter, / Though he hardly had a thing to eat for dinner; / While a man in Booboorowie / Often sat and wondered how he / Could prevent himself from growing any thinner.
So the man from Oodnadatta / He came down to Booboorowie, / Where he rapidly grew flatter; / And the folk will tell you how he / Urged the man from Booboorowie / To go up to Oodnadatta -- / Where he lived awhile, and now he / Is considerably fatter.
