"THIS IS SUNG TO THE SONG WALTZING MATILDA "
Once there was this miner,….. who went to the nurse,…. one day
Feeling...…...quite content……. was……. he
And then he waited ,and he watched ,as he blew into the breath machine
I just want three zero’s,.. One, Two, Three !
Your breath was distilled sir !, It damn nearly killed her !
Now you’ll have to come to see the foreman with me
And he waited and he watched as he blew into the breath machine
I just want three zero’s, One, Two, Three !
It surely was a setup,…… as.. I.. didn’t,… really…. drink that long
Oh bloody hell, …..what is happening to me !
This is what he sang,…. as he blew into that breath machine
I just want three zero’s,….. One, Two, Three !
Up went his blood pressure,….. and his face, it started turning red
In came the bosses,..One, Two, Three !
Who’s the silly bastard, who blew into the breath machine
You’re on the next plane, it leaves here at three !
But his breath was distilled sir, It damn nearly killed her
So this old miner was to be sent home at three
Up jumped the miner, and he started to sing this song
I’ll never, come back to this place, … said he
And to the coast without a word, he passed us by,... just in his thongs
All he wanted was three zero’s…………One, Two, Three !
