The Road to Gundagai (Parody)

Words: Unknown
Tune: Jack O'Hagan (The Road to Gundagai)



There's a clapped-out old Ford
Made of rubber, tin and board
Along the road to Gundagai.
The radiator's hissing
And half the engine's missing
The oil-tank's running dry
There's water in the petrol
There's sand in the gears
She hasn't seen a garage for more than thirty years
But you should hear her roar
When the pedal hits the floor
Along the road to Gundagai.


One of many parodies of the famous Australian song. I learnt this one in the 1980s in the Brisbane sessions.
