(Air: "A fine old English gentleman. ")
I'll sing to you a fine new song, made by my blessed mate, / Of a fine Australian squatter who had a fine estate, / Who swore by right pre-emptive at a sanguinary rate / That by his rams, his ewes, his lambs, Australia was made / great -- / Like a fine Australian squatter, one of the olden time.
