London Man About Town


Magwitch the convict, eating roots, berries and whelks,
A man on the run, lost in the hulks
Child of misfortune who never learned to read
Far away in Australia, little koala bears
hang in the eucalyptus trees. 

Where is our little bucanneer, our pirate of old,
living the dream, treasure chest full of silver and gold
Where is our London man about town?
Sent to Australia for stealing a loaf

Spending like a sailor, Spanish doubloons, Louis D'ors
Where is our London man about town?
Sent to Austrailia for stealing a loaf.
