I’ve been looking at the pictures
of the changes in the Hold,
the lads are doing wonders
in the ice and freezing cold.
I’ve searched for two old friends of mine,
but haven’t seen them yet,
there’s Eddy Stone from Devon
(you’ve heard of him, I’ll bet).
The other chap’s from Dorset,
from a place near Weymouth town,
Old Portland Bill will get here,
for I know he’s coming down.
I’ve heard there is a plane en route
with a party from “Down Under”,
(knowing how they like their beer,
they’ll tear the place asunder!!).
The guy in charge is Charles Point,
there’s Art’ & Henry Head,
and everyone knows Vernon Rocks,
(though some thought he was dead).
The final member of the group
is drunken Frederick Reef,
and if the pubs are open,
he’s bound to come to grief!!
They’ll be here for the opening,
(if the ice has gone by then),
and Volunteers should welcome all
these fine Australian men.
