SITE SOURCE: Sydney Folklore Project - Section 7: MARITIME The LolitaLolita, she was cruising round just by the eastern gateWhen a message flashed from Yaroma read 'Come immediate' Lolita dashes over there at a terrific rate There's something in the bloody net Will you please investigate Perhaps it's an acoustic mine or just a baby sub But whatever it turns out to be I'm sure it's not a pub We'll just go in and take a look, we'll be the bloody mug And if it really is a mine there's no need to relate That we will surely go aloft to see the pearly gate Then as we backed towards the net we gave our eyes a rub There laying in the net so nice was a darling little sub Said the sub commander full of fun I really think my time has come I really think I've been sold a pup That CBP will blow me up I'll not stop here why he has fun I'll beat Lolita to the gun The Jap he carried out his plot A bloody near Lolita got The boys they cursed so full of wrath The dirty bastards seen us off
