prison warden and billabong
But besides that:
Once a jolly swagman sat beside the billabong,
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
And he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me.
Down came a jumbuck to drink beside the billabong
Up jumped the swagman and seized him with glee
And he sang as he tucked jumbuck in his tuckerbag
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
And he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me.
Down came the stockman, riding on his thoroughbred,
Down came the troopers, one, two, three.
"Where's the jolly jumbuck you've got in your tuckerbag?
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
And he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me.
Up jumped the swagman and plunged into the billabong,
"You'll never catch me alive," cried he
And his ghost may be heard as you ride beside the billabong,
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me.

Gizza a squirt of ya goonbag dad.
Goon of Fortune, also known as Wheel of Goon (derivative of the television game show Wheel of Fortune, is a drinking game that originated in Australia. Some might claim it is one of the most quintessentially Australian games, as it takes advantage of two Australian inventions: cask wine (goon), and the Hills Hoist.
The game is played by pegging up one full internal bag of cask wine (goon) taken from a bag in a box to each of the four corners of a Hills Hoist (rotary clothesline).
Once the bags have been pegged, the contestants stand around the Hills Hoist, and it is spun around. As it spins, contestants traditionally shout out "Goon... Of... Fortune!" And when it comes to a halt, the closest contestant to each bag must drink deep of its contents - ten seconds at least.
Whoever is left standing when the bags are empty is declared the winner.
The general rules for disqualification are as follows:
A contestant leaves to urinate.
A contestant vomits.
A contestant fails to drink from the bag.
A contestant passes out.
A contestant falls over and is unable to stand securely.
In general, a good game of Goon of Fortune contains a variety of different types of goon, to give contestants some variety. There should be at least one white wine, one red wine, and one fruity lexia. The fourth bag can be any of the above, although a goon bag of port or sherry (double the alcohol content of regular goon) can be used for enhanced hilarity.
There are slight (Possibly Melbournian?) variations in existence - such as the use of milk crates: The Hills Hoist is adjusted to its appropriate height, so that each contestant can stand on a milk crate whilst drinking from the bag. In this variation, a contestant is disqualified should they fall from their crate. Another slight variation is found in the timing. The first contestant must only drink for one second, but each time the 'wheel' is spun the drinking time increases. This may leave contestants with the challenge of drinking consistently for 17 seconds or more! Contestants failing to drink for the correct amount of time are disqualified.
