Please Mum, What's an Ocker?

"Please, Mum, what's an Ocker?
I really want to know."

"Hey kid, it's just an Ocker-
How come youse didn't know?
An Ocker talks Orstrylian,
An Ocker drinks his beer
An Ocker wears his stubby shorts
Halfway down his rear.
An Ocker likes a barbi,
He buys his chips and snags;
An Ocker loves his pie and sauce
Served up in paper bags.
An Ocker likes a sanger
And a choccy bikkie too
An Ocker like to have a laugh;
He loves to have a blue
Visualise Paul Hogan
As Crocodile Dundee
And there you have your Ocker-
Now shut up and eat yer tea!"
