Bungwahl
I wrote this when we were living at smiths Lake. I sent it to the Songwriters Association for a critique assessment to get a positive feedback. The sheet had gone missing but it is on their files. I sent this to the ABC Your town your song competition in later years. I've never performed it but you can feel it!
IN BUNGWAHL (THERE”S A BUSH BAND PLAYING)
At Bungwahl there's a bush band playing
Songs that get you up and dancin'
On a tongue and grooved floor
Built during the First World War
At Bungwahl there's a bushband playing
At Bungwahl there's a banjo playing
Tunes to get you up and dancin'
They'll send some folk up the wall
With bare feet boots and all
I like punch it gets you singin'
At Bungwahl there's a bush band playing
Man! You should see the dancin'
With a fiddler on the straw
A golf Club watch out fore
It's a nice time to go skinny dippin'
At Seal Rocks they love surfing
Near Bungwahl where there's dancin'
To a beat one two three four
Let’s chuck the piss pots out the door
The kookaburra laughs at our stompin'
At Bungwahl there's a squeeze box playin'
Find a partner and start dancin'
What a night to have a ball
With buffet and a tasty boar
And the cost will be just a farthing
So at Bungwahl there’s a bush band playin'
Songs that get you up and dancin'
Packed them in wall to wall
What about a loud encore
Till midnight lets hope no one's sleepin'
Yeah ha (Ron Beswick 2006)
