Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he watched and waited till his "Billy" boiled,

I saw bank booms ... land booms, silver booms, Northern Territory booms, and they all had one thing in common—they always burst.

A man without one redeeming vice.
