THE SHEARER’S DREAM

Oh I dreamt I shore in a shearing shed, and it was a dream of joy,

For every one of the rouseabouts was a girl dressed up as a boy,

Dressed up like a page in a pantomime, the prettiest ever seen,

They had flaxen hair, they had coal-black hair, and every shade in-between.

The shed was cooled by electric fans that were over every shoot,

The pens were of polished mahogany, and everything else to suit,

The huts had springs to the mattresses, and the tucker was simply grand,

And every night by the billabong we danced to a German band.
