Ratpack Boogie
Rat Pack Boogie: Culinary Camaraderie in the Outback
Lyrics
Once three troopies from the double R
Three soldiers from the double R (unit)
Were sitting in the bush with an old guitar
Sitting in the bush with an old guitar
They came up with a remedy
They devised a solution
For graze that ain't what it should be
For injuries that are not as they should be
They did the rat pack boogie woogie, woogie, woogie, woogie
Performed the rat pack boogie dance
Rat pack boogie and you'll be alright
Rat pack boogie ensures everything will be fine
Rat pack boogie woogie, woogie, woogie, woogie
Reiterated the rat pack boogie dance
Shake up your dinner tonight
Enhance your dinner experience tonight
The first trooper said "You know it aint too bad"
First soldier praises the improvised meal
Just about the best meal I ever had
Considers it one of the best meals
I made chutney for my ham
Made chutney for his ham
Put my bully beef and curry with my apricot jam
Combined bully beef, curry, and apricot jam
They did the rat pack boogie woogie, woogie, woogie, woogie
Reenacted the rat pack boogie dance
Rat pack boogie and you'll be alright
Rat pack boogie ensures well-being
Rat pack boogie woogie, woogie, woogie, woogie
Repeated the rat pack boogie dance
Shake up your dinner tonight
Spice up your dinner tonight
The second trooper said "My matches are wet"
Second soldier faces challenges with matches
I can't light a fire or a cigarette
Can't light a fire or a cigarette
Ain't got salt and the sugar ain't nice
Shortage of salt, and sugar isn't pleasant
The only meat I see is the weevils in the rice
Meat scarcity, only weevils in the rice
They did the rat pack boogie woogie, woogie, woogie, woogie
Performed the rat pack boogie dance
Rat pack boogie and you'll be alright
Rat pack boogie ensures well-being
Rat pack boogie woogie, woogie, woogie, woogie
Reiterated the rat pack boogie dance
Shake up your dinner tonight
Spice up your dinner tonight
The third trooper said "Now ain't that a shame"
Third soldier acknowledges a tough situation
I've never been the one to complain
Not prone to complaining
Ain't no wonder that your belly gets sore
Explains the reason for belly discomfort
The graze in the box is from the second world war
The rations are from the Second World War
Did the rat pack boogie woogie, woogie, woogie, woogie
Performed the rat pack boogie dance
Rat pack boogie and you'll be alright
Rat pack boogie ensures well-being
Rat pack boogie woogie, woogie, woogie, woogie
Reiterated the rat pack boogie dance
Shake up your dinner tonight
Spice up your dinner tonight
They did the rat pack boogie woogie, woogie, woogie, woogie
Repeated the rat pack boogie dance
Rat pack boogie and you'll be alright
Rat pack boogie ensures well-being
Rat pack boogie woogie, woogie, woogie, woogie
Reiterated the rat pack boogie dance
Shake up your dinner tonight
Spice up your dinner tonight
