Parody on "Golden Love" Lance Lenton Australian Melodist No 21 SITE SOURCE: Sydney Folklore - SECTION12: Country meets City Olden "Duff"Once more we sit beside the silver cover,Hot, as we started in our pie-gone days, - When warm the plate we'd burned our fingers under Proudly endured on olden duff to gaze. Once more we eat and stuff ourselves, you bet; Once more we eat and hand grasps spoon again, Ever to ask, if mother should forget, Never to think of by-gone hours of pain. Ever to ask, if mother should forget, Never to wink, never to blink, Never to think of by-gone hours of pain, Once more we eat the plum-duff filled with raisins, Eat as we started, though all may turn blue; Only the band of pants we loosen gently, Feeling the duff stick to our sides like glue, Once more we eat, and loudly call for more; Once more we eat, and own the last was best. Now for a start, on plum-duff cry "Encore!" Until the buttons fall from off our vest. Now for a start, on plum-duff cry "Encore!" Now for a start, on plum-duff cry " Encore I" Until the buttons fall from off our vest, Until the buttons fall from off our vest, Our vest, our vest. |
