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 b**boorowie
Often sat and wondered how he
Could prevent himself from growing any thinner.
So the man from Oodnadatta
He came down to b**boorowie,
Where he rapidly grew flatter;
And the folk will tell you how he
Urged the man from b**boorowie
To go up to Oodnadatta -
Where he lived awhile, and now he
Is considerably fatter.
